Nonlinear *-Lie-type derivations on standard operator algebras (Q1747973)

The present paper deals with the question to what extent the multiplicative structure of an algebra determines its additive structure. In particular, one can ask under which conditions bijective mappings between algebras preserving the multiplicative structure necessarily preserve the additive structure as well. It is shown in this paper that each nonlinear *-Lie-type derivation on a standard operator algebra on a Hilbert space which is closed under the adjoint operation is necessarily a linear, inner, *-derivation.
