Abstract: Given a locally nilpotent derivation on an affine algebra $B$ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, we consider a finitely generated $B$-module $M$ which admits a locally nilpotent module derivation $delt{a}_M$ (see Definition 1.1 below). Let $A=Kerdelta$ and $M_0=Kerdelt{a}_M$. We ask if $M_0$ is a finitely generated $A$-module. In general, there exist counterexamples which are closely related to the fourteenth problem of Hilbert. We also look for some sufficient conditions for finite generation.
