Abstract:
The noncommutative Singer-Wermer conjecture states that every linear (possibly unbounded) derivation on a (possibly noncommutative)
Banach algebra maps into its Jacobson radical. This conjecture is still an open question for more than thirty years. In this
paper we approach this question via linear left ϑ-derivations.
