We introduce a new class of simple Lie algebras W (n, m) (see Definition 1) that generalize the Witt algebra by using " exponential " functions, and also a subalgebra W * (n, m) thereof; and we show each derivation of W * (1, 0) can be written as a sum of an inner derivation and a scalar derivation (Theorem. 2) [10]. The Lie algebra W (n, m) is Z-graded and is infinite growth [4].

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free ring and $U$ be a square closed Lie ideal of $R$. Suppose that $alpha, beta$ are automorphisms of $R$. An additive mapping $delta: R longrightarrow R$ is said to be a Jordan left $(alpha,beta)$-derivation of $R$ if $delta(x^2)=alpha(x)delta(x)+beta(x)delta(x)$ holds for all $xin R$. In this paper it is established that if $R$ admits an additive mapping $G : Rlongrigh...

Let A be a factor von Neumann algebra with dimA ? 2. In this paper, it is proved that map : nonlinear mixed Jordan triple ?-derivation if and only an additive ?-derivation.

We introduce a bicomplex which computes the triple cohomology of Lie– Rinehart algebras. We prove that the triple cohomology is isomorphic to the Rinehart cohomology [13] provided the Lie–Rinehart algebra is projective over the corresponding commutative algebra. As an application we construct a canonical class in the third dimensional cohomology corresponding to an associative algebra.

In commutative algebra, a Weitzenböck derivation is a nonzero triangular linear derivation of the polynomial algebra K[x1, . . . , xm] in several variables over a field K of characteristic 0. The classical theorem of Weitzenböck states that the algebra of constants is finitely generated. (This algebra coincides with the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation.)
