Derivations of Tensor Product of Algebras

چکیده
We establish several results regarding the algebra of derivations of tensor product of two algebras, and its connection to finite order automorphisms. These results generalize some well-know theorems in the literature. Dedicated to Professor Bruce Allison on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday 0. Introduction In 1969, R. E. Block [B] showed that the algebra of derivations of tensor product of two algebras (satisfying certain finite dimensionality conditions) can be expressed in terms of the algebra of derivations and the centroid of each of the involved algebras. In 1986, G. Benkart and R. V. Moody [BM] used this (with a new proof) to establish some very interesting results concerning the finite order automorphisms and its connection to the algebra of derivations of tensor product of two algebras. They applied their results to determine the algebra of derivations of several important classes if infinite dimensional Lie algebras, including twisted and untwisted affine Kac–Moody Lie algebras [K], Virasoro algebras, and some subclasses of extended affine Lie algebras (see [AABGP],[BGK] and [N2] for extended affine Lie algebras). All algebras we consider will be over a field k. We denote by D(A) and C(A) the algebra of derivations and centroid of an algebra A, respectively. Let A be a perfect algebra and S be a commutative associative unital algebra. It is proved in [B, Theorem 7.1] and [BM, Theorem 1.1] that if A is finite dimensional then D(A ⊗ S) = D(A)⊗ S ⊕ C(A)⊗ D(S). (1) Therefore any derivation d ∈ D(A ⊗ S) can be represented as d = ∑

DERIVATIONS OF TENSOR PRODUCT OF SIMPLE C*-ALGEBRAS
In this paper we study the properties of derivations of A B, where A and B are simple separable C*-algebras, and A B is the C*-completion of A B with respect to a C*-norm Yon A B and we will characterize the derivations of A B in terms of the derivations of A and B
متن کاملArens-irregularity of tensor product of Banach algebras
We introduce Banach algebras arising from tensor norms. By these Banach algebras we make Arensregular Banach algebras such that tensor product becomes irregular, where is tensor norm. Weillustrate injective tensor product, does not preserve bounded approximate identity and it is notalgebra norm.

In this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of Herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $A_p(Gtimes H)$ and $A_p(G)widehat{otimes}^p A_p(H)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $G$ and $H$.
متن کاملOn the character space of vector-valued Lipschitz algebras
We show that the character space of the vector-valued Lipschitz algebra $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$ of order $alpha$ is homeomorphic to the cartesian product $Xtimes M_E$ in the product topology, where $X$ is a compact metric space and $E$ is a unital commutative Banach algebra. We also characterize the form of each character on $Lip^{alpha}(X, E)$. By appealing to the injective tensor product, we the...
متن کاملProduct of derivations on C$^*$-algebras
Let $mathfrak{A}$ be an algebra. A linear mapping $delta:mathfrak{A}tomathfrak{A}$ is called a textit{derivation} if $delta(ab)=delta(a)b+adelta(b)$ for each $a,binmathfrak{A}$. Given two derivations $delta$ and $delta'$ on a $C^*$-algebra $mathfrak A$, we prove that there exists a derivation $Delta$ on $mathfrak A$ such that $deltadelta'=Delta^2$ if and only if either $delta'=0$ or $delta=sdel...
