[For the entire collection see Zbl 0722.00020.] This work reviews and extends results concerning the study of approximately inner derivations in simple \(C^*\)-algebras with a nontrivial differentiable structure. The author concentrates mainly on two kinds of such algebras: a \(C^*\)-algebras associated to an antisymmetric non degenerate form in two variables with a differentiable structure defined in terms of the torus action, and the Cuntz algebra \({\mathcal O}_ n\) acted upon by the Lie group \(U(n,1)\). The smooth structures are defined and studied, and the problem of decomposing densely defined derivations into an approximately inner part and a non trivial Lie-algebra part is performed using Hilbert space technics by introducing an inner product on the space of derivations motivated by the Yang-Mills functional.
