Additive Lie (\(\xi\)-Lie) derivations and generalized Lie (\(\xi\)-Lie) derivations on prime algebras (Q1940865)

In this paper, the authors characterize the additive (generalized) \(\xi\)-Lie derivations on prime algebras. Under some suitable assumptions, it is shown that an additive map \(L\) is an additive generalized Lie derivation if and only if it is the sum of an additive generalized derivation and an additive map from the algebra into its center vanishing at all commutators; it is an additive (generalized) \(\xi\)-Lie derivation with \(\xi \neq 1\) if and only if it is an additive (generalized) derivation satisfying \(L(\xi A)=\xi L(A)\) for all \(A\). The authors apply these results to characterize additive (generalized) \(\xi\)-Lie derivations on several operator algebras and on von Neumann algebras.
