A NOTE OF LEFT DERIVATIONS ON BANACH ALGEBRAS

  • Published : 1997.06.01

Abstract

In this paper we show that if A is a Banach algebra with radical R and D is a left derivation on A then $D(A){\subset}R$ if and only if $Q_RD^n$ is continuous for all $n{\geq}1$, where $Q_R$ is the canonical quotient map from A onto A/R.
