Derivations and Automorphisms of Certain Operator Algebras

Automorphisms of Operator Algebras

Derivations of Certain Operator Algebras

Let be a nest and let be a subalgebra of L(H) containing all rank one operators of alg . We give several conditions under which any derivation δ from into L(H) must be inner. The conditions include (1) H− ≠H, (2) 0+ ≠ 0, (3) there is a nontrivial projection in which is in , and (4) δ is norm continuous. We also give some applications.

Lie-type higher derivations on operator algebras

 Motivated by the intensive and powerful works concerning additive‎ ‎mappings of operator algebras‎, ‎we mainly study Lie-type higher‎ ‎derivations on operator algebras in the current work‎. ‎It is shown‎ ‎that every Lie (triple-)higher derivation on some classical operator‎ ‎algebras is of standard form‎. ‎The definition of Lie $n$-higher‎ ‎derivations on operator algebras and related pot...

A Note on Automorphisms and Derivations of Lie Algebras

In a recent paper Borel and Serre proved the theorem: If 8 is a Lie algebra of characteristic 0 and 8 has an automorphism of prime period without fixed points f^O, then 8 is nilpotent.1 In this note we give a proof valid also for characteristic p^O. By the same method we can prove several other similar results on automorphisms and derivations. Our method is based on decompositions of the Lie al...
