Lie derivations of reflexive algebras (Q2380366): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(B(X)\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \(X\). Let \(\mathcal{L}\) be a subspace lattice on \(X\). The authors show that, if \(\mathcal{L}\) is a nest or has a nontrivial smallest element or has a nontrivial greatest element, then a Lie derivation from \(\text{Alg}\mathcal{L}\) into \(B(X)\) is the sum of a derivation and a linear map with image in the center which vanishes on commutators.
