Generalized derivations on algebras

Harwig, Jonas and Silvestrov, Sergei LU (2002) In Preprints in Mathematical Sciences
Abstract
In this paper we study (sigma,tau)-derivations on algebras from an abstract point of view. After some definitions and examples, we derive Leibniz type formulas and introduce a module structure on spaces of (sigma,tau)-derivations. Then we find all (sigma,tau)-derivations on unique factorization domains when sigma and tau are different endomorphisms. We also prove necessary equations for sigma-derivations on the quantum plane. Conditions for products and Jacobi type identities for (sigma,tau)-derivations on associative algebras are considered. Then follows an investigation of homogeneous (sigma,tau)-derivations on the Witt algebra of degree zero. Finally we generalize the Witt algebra to a skew-symmetric algebra of sigma-derivations on a... (More)
