Jordan derivations of triangular algebras

In this note, it is shown that every Jordan derivation of triangular algebras is a derivation.     

Generalized Jordan derivations on triangular matrix algebras

In this note, we prove that every generalized Jordan derivation from the algebra of all upper triangular matrices over a commutative ring with identity into its bimodule is the sum of a generalized derivation and an antiderivation.     

Local derivations on certain CSL algebras

In this paper, it is shown that every norm continuous linear local derivation from an arbitrary CSL algebra whose lattice is generated by finitely many independent nests into any ultraweakly closed subalgebra which contains the algebra is an inner derivation, and that every norm continuous linear local derivation from an arbitrary CSL algebra whose lattice is completely distributive into any ultraweakly closed subalgebra which contains the algebra is a derivation.     

Nonlinear Lie derivations of triangular algebras

In this paper we prove that every nonlinear Lie derivation of triangular algebras is the sum of an additive derivation and a map into its center sending commutators to zero.     

Generalized Lie derivations on triangular algebras

Let A be a unital algebra and let M be a unitary A-bimodule. We consider generalized Lie derivations mapping from A to M. Our results are applied to triangular algebras, in particular to nest algebras and (block) upper triangular matrix algebras. We prove that under certain conditions each generalized Lie derivation of a triangular algebra A is the sum of a generalized derivation and a central map which vanishes on all commutators of A.     

Characterizations of derivations of Banach space nest algebras: All-derivable points

Let N be a nest on a complex Banach space X with N∈N complemented in X whenever N_-=N, and let AlgN be the associated nest algebra. We say that an operator Z∈AlgN is an all-derivable point of AlgN if every linear map δ from AlgN into itself derivable at Z (i.e. δ(A)B+Aδ(B)=δ(Z) for any A,B∈A with AB=Z) is a derivation. In this paper, it is shown that if Z∈AlgN is an injective operator or an operator with dense range, or an idempotent operator with ran(Z)∈N, then Z is an all-derivable point of AlgN. Particularly, if N is a nest on a complex Hilbert space, then every idempotent operator with range in N, every injective operator as well as every operator with dense range in AlgN is an all-derivable point of the nest algebra AlgN.     

Higher derivations of triangular algebras and its generalizations

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, A and B be unital algebras over R and M be a unital (it A,it B)-bimodule. Let be the triangular algebra consisting of A, it Band M. Motivated by the work of Cheung [14] we mainly consider the question whether every higher derivation on a triangular algebra is an inner higher derivation. We also give some characterizations on (generalized-)Jordan (triple-)higher derivations of triangular algebras.     

Jordan higher all-derivable points on nontrivial nest algebras

Let A be a Banach algebra with unity I and M be a unital Banach A-bimodule. A family of continuous additive mappings D=(δ_i)_i∈N from A into M is called a higher derivable mapping at X, if δ_n(AB)=∑_i+j=nδ_i(A)δ_j(B) for any A,B∈A with AB=X. In this paper, we show that D is a Jordan higher derivation if D is a higher derivable mapping at an invertible element X. As an application, we also get that every invertible operator in a nontrivial nest algebra is a higher all-derivable point.     

Additive maps derivable or Jordan derivable at zero point on nest algebras

Let AlgN be a nest algebra associated with the nest N on a (real or complex) Banach space X. Assume that every N∈N is complemented whenever N_-=N. Let δ:AlgN→AlgN be an additive map. It is shown that the following three conditions are equivalent: (1) δ is derivable at zero point, i.e., δ(AB)=δ(A)B+Aδ(B) whenever AB=0; (2) δ is Jordan derivable at zero point, i.e., δ(AB+BA)=δ(A)B+Aδ(B)+Bδ(A)+δ(B)A whenever AB+BA=0; (3) δ has the form δ(A)=τ(A)+cA for some additive derivation τ and some scalar c. It is also shown that δ is generalized derivable at zero point, i.e., δ(AB)=δ(A)B+Aδ(B)-Aδ(I)B whenever AB=0, if and only if δ is an additive generalized derivation. Finer characterizations of above maps are given for the case dimX=∞.     

Characterizations of Lie derivations of triangular algebras

Let T be a triangular algebra over a commutative ring R. In this paper, under some mild conditions on T, we prove that if δ:T→T is an R-linear map satisfying

δ([x,y])=[δ(x),y]+[x,δ(y)]     

Annihilator-preserving maps, multipliers, and derivations

For a commutative subspace lattice L in a von Neumann algebra N and a bounded linear map f:N∩algL→B(H), we show that if Af(B)C=0 for all A,B,C∈N∩algL satisfying AB=BC=0, then f is a generalized derivation. For a unital C^∗-algebra A, a unital Banach A-bimodule M, and a bounded linear map f:A→M, we prove that if f(A)B=0 for all A,B∈A with AB=0, then f is a left multiplier; as a consequence, every bounded local derivation from a C^∗-algebra to a Banach A-bimodule is a derivation. We also show that every local derivation on a semisimple free semigroupoid algebra is a derivation and every local multiplier on a free semigroupoid algebra is a multiplier.

All-derivable points of operator algebras

Let A be an operator subalgebra in B(H), where H is a Hilbert space. We say that an element Z∈A is an all-derivable point of A for the norm-topology (strongly operator topology, etc.) if, every norm-topology (strongly operator topology, etc.) continuous derivable linear mapping φ at Z (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any S,T∈A with ST=Z) is a derivation. In this paper, we show that every invertible operator in the nest algebra is an all-derivable point of the nest algebra for the strongly operator topology. We also prove that every nonzero element of the algebra of all 2×2 upper triangular matrixes is an all-derivable point of the algebra.     

Type I Toeplitz algebras

The class of Toeplitz algebras associated to ordered groups is important in the analysis of Toeplitz operators on the generalised Hardy spaces defined by such groups. The conditions under which these Toeplitz algebras are Type I C^*-algebras are investigated.     

All-derivable points in the algebra of all upper triangular matrices

Let TM_n be the algebra of all n×n upper triangular matrices. We say that an element G∈TM_n is an all-derivable point of TM_n if every derivable linear mapping φ at G (i.e. φ(ST)=φ(S)T+Sφ(T) for any S,T∈TM_n with ST=G) is a derivation. In this paper we show that G∈TM_n is an all derivable point of TM_n if and only if G≠0.

A CDCSL algebra is a reflexive operator algebra with completely distributive and commutative subspace lattice. In this paper, we show, for a weakly closed linear subspace of a CDCSL algebra , that is a Lie ideal if and only if for all invertibles A in , and that is a Jordan ideal if and only if it is an associative ideal.     

Characterization of Lie higher derivations on triangular algebras

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital rings, and $\mathcal{M}$ be an $\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ -bimodule, which is faithful as a left $\mathcal{A}$ -module and also as a right $\mathcal{B}$ -module. Let $\mathcal{U} = Tri\left( {\mathcal{A},\mathcal{M},\mathcal{B}} \right)$ be the triangular algebra. In this paper, we give some different characterizations of Lie higher derivations on $\mathcal{U}$ .
