Derivations ofAW∗-algebras are inner

Local higher derivations on C*-algebras are higher derivations

Let $mathfrak{A}$ be a Banach algebra. We say that a sequence ${D_n}_{n=0}^infty$ of continuous operators form $mathfrak{A}$ into $mathfrak{A}$ is a textit{local higher derivation} if to each $ainmathfrak{A}$ there corresponds a continuous higher derivation ${d_{a,n}}_{n=0}^infty$ such that $D_n(a)=d_{a,n}(a)$ for each non-negative integer $n$. We show that if $mathfrak{A}$ is a $C^*$-algebra t...

Inner Derivations of Non-associative Algebras

In this note we propose a definition of inner derivation for nonassociative algebras. This definition coincides with the usual one for Lie algebras, and for associative algebras with no absolute right (left) divisor of zero. I t is well known that all derivations of semi-simple associative or Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero are inner. Recent correspondence with N. Jacobson has ...

Inner Derivations on Ultraprime Normed Algebras

We show that, for every ultraprime Banach algebra A, there exists a positive number γ satisfying γ‖a+Z(A)‖ ≤ ‖Da‖ for all a in A, where Z(A) denotes the centre of A and Da denotes the inner derivation on A induced by a. Moreover, the number γ depends only on the “constant of ultraprimeness” of A.

Derivations of Homotopy Algebras

We recall the definition of strong homotopy derivations of A∞ algebras and introduce the corresponding definition for L∞ algebras. We define strong homotopy inner derivations for both algebras and exhibit explicit examples of both.
