We classify all the pairs of a commutative associative algebra with an identity element and its finite-dimensional commutative locally-finite derivation subalgebra such that the commutative associative algebra is derivation-simple with respect to the derivation subalgebra over an algebraically closed field with characteristic 0. Such pairs are the fundamental ingredients for constructing genera...

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 ...

Let $mathcal M$ be a factor von Neumann algebra. It is shown that every nonlinear $*$-Lie higher derivation$D={phi_{n}}_{ninmathbb{N}}$ on $mathcal M$ is additive. In particular, if $mathcal M$ is infinite type $I$factor, a concrete characterization of $D$ is given.

It is proved that the derivation algebra of a centerless perfect Lie algebra of arbitrary dimension over any field of arbitrary characteristic is complete and that the holomorph of a centerless perfect Lie algebra is complete if and only if its outer derivation algebra is centerless. Key works: Derivation, complete Lie algebra, holomorph of Lie algebra Mathematics Subject Classification (1991):...

Let $mathfrak{L}$ be the Virasoro-like algebra and $mathfrak{g}$ itsderived algebra, respectively. We investigate the structure of the Lie triplederivation algebra of $mathfrak{L}$ and $mathfrak{g}$. We provethat they are both isomorphic to $mathfrak{L}$, which provides twoexamples of invariance under triple derivation.

A unital $C^*$ -- algebra $mathcal A,$ endowed withthe Lie product $[x,y]=xy- yx$ on $mathcal A,$ is called a Lie$C^*$ -- algebra. Let $mathcal A$ be a Lie $C^*$ -- algebra and$g,h:mathcal A to mathcal A$ be $Bbb C$ -- linear mappings. A$Bbb C$ -- linear mapping $f:mathcal A to mathcal A$ is calleda Lie $(g,h)$ -- double derivation if$f([a,b])=[f(a),b]+[a,f(b)]+[g(a),h(b)]+[h(a),g(b)]$ for all ...

Throughout this note, R will be always a prime ring of characteristic different from 2 with center Z(R), extended centroid C, and two-sided Martindale quotient ring Q. Let f : R→ R be additive mapping of R into itself. It is said to be a derivation of R if f (xy)= f (x)y + x f (y), for all x, y ∈ R. Let S⊆ R be any subset of R. If for any x, y ∈ S, f ([x, y])= [ f (x), y] + [x, f (y)], then the...
