Characterizing additive \(\xi\)-Lie derivations of prime algebras by \(\xi\)-Lie zero products. (Q616401)

Let \(\mathcal A\) be a unital prime algebra with a non-trivial idempotent over a field \(\mathbb F\). For any scalar \(\xi\in\mathbb F\), all additive maps \(L\colon\mathcal A\to\mathcal A\) satisfying \([L(A),B]_\xi+[A,L(B)]=0\) whenever \([A,B]_\xi=0\) are characterized and the relations of \(L\) to the derivations are revealed, where \([A,B]_\xi=BA-\xi BA\) is the \(\xi\)-Lie product of \(A,B\in\mathcal A\). In the second section, the authors consider additive maps \(\xi\)-Lie derivable at zero on prime algebras containing a non-trivial idempotent. As an application to operator algebras, they get a characterization of linear maps on factor von Neumann algebras that are \(\xi\)-Lie derivable at zero. The main theorem of this part is Theorem 2.1. In the third section, they study additive maps generalized \(\xi\)-Lie derivable at zero on prime algebras containing a non-trivial idempotent. Theorem 3.1 is the main result of this section. The whole paper is well written and well organized. This nice paper is impressive to algebraists and analysts. It will be an important literature reference in future related research in this topic.
