Existence, automatic continuity and invariant submodules of generalized derivations on modules (Q1759597): Difference between revisions

The authors first show that free modules and projective modules always have nontrivial generalized derivations. Then they prove that every minimal prime submodule of a left \(\mathcal A\)-module \(\mathcal{M}\), where \(\mathcal A\) is a \(\mathbb C\)-algebra, is invariant under every generalized derivation. Furthermore, the authors obtain analogs of Posner's theorem for generalized derivations. In the case when \(\mathcal{A}\) is a Banach algebra and \(\mathcal{M}\) is a Banach left \(\mathcal{A}\)-module, the authors study the existence of continuous generalized derivations and automatic continuity of generalized derivations.
