Non Commutative Arens Algebras and their Derivations

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal semi-finite trace $\tau,$ we consider the non commutative Arens algebra $L^{\omega}(M, \tau)=\bigcap\limits_{p\geq1}L^{p}(M, \tau)$ and the related algebras $L^{\omega}_2(M, \tau)=\bigcap\limits_{p\geq2}L^{p}(M, \tau)$ and $M+L^{\omega}_2(M, \tau)$ which are proved to be complete metrizable locally convex *-algebras. The main purpose of the present paper is to prove that any derivation of the algebra $M+L^{\omega}_2(M, \tau)$ is inner and all derivations of the algebras $L^{\omega}(M,\tau)$ and $L^{\omega}_2(M, \tau)$ are spatial and implemented by elements of $M+L^{\omega}_2(M, \tau).$Comment: 19 pages.

Structure of derivations on various algebras of measurable operators for type I von Neumann algebras

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ denote by $S(M)$ and $LS(M)$ respectively the algebras of all measurable and locally measurable operators affiliated with $M.$ For a faithful normal semi-finite trace $\tau$ on $M$ let $S(M, \tau)$ (resp. $S_0(M, \tau)$) be the algebra of all $\tau$-measurable (resp. $\tau$-compact) operators from $S(M).$ We give a complete description of all derivations on the above algebras of operators in the case of type I von Neumann algebra $M.$ In particular, we prove that if $M$ is of type I$_\infty$ then every derivation on $LS(M)$ (resp. $S(M)$ and $S(M,\tau)$) is inner, and each derivation on $S_0(M, \tau)$ is spatial and implemented by an element from $S(M, \tau).$Comment: 38 page

Boundedness of completely additive measures with application to 2-local triple derivations

We prove a Jordan version of Dorofeev's boundedness theorem for completely additive measues and use it to show that every (not necessarily linear nor continuous) 2-local triple derivation on a continuous JBW*-triple is a triple derivation.Comment: 30 page

Local Derivations on Algebras of Measurable Operators

The paper is devoted to local derivations on the algebra $S(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ of $\tau$-measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ and a faithful normal semi-finite trace $\tau.$ We prove that every local derivation on $S(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ which is continuous in the measure topology, is in fact a derivation. In the particular case of type I von Neumann algebras they all are inner derivations. It is proved that for type I finite von Neumann algebras without an abelian direct summand, and also for von Neumann algebras with the atomic lattice of projections, the condition of continuity of the local derivation is redundant. Finally we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ for the existence of local derivations which are not derivations on algebras of measurable operators affiliated with $\mathcal{M}.$Comment: 20 page
