Abstract

Let A\mathcal A be a von Neumann algebra and M\mathcal M be a Banach A\mathcal A-module. It is shown that for every homomorphisms σ,τ\sigma, \tau on A\mathcal A, every bounded linear map f:AMf:\mathcal A\to \mathcal M with property that f(p2)=σ(p)f(p)+f(p)τ(p)f(p^2)=\sigma(p)f(p)+f(p)\tau(p) for every projection pp in A\mathcal A is a (σ,τ)(\sigma,\tau)-derivation. Also, it is shown that a bounded linear map f:AMf:\mathcal A \to \mathcal M which satisfies f(ab)=σ(a)f(b)+f(a)τ(b)f(ab)= \sigma(a)f(b)+f(a)\tau(b) for all a,bAa,b\in \mathcal A with ab=Sab=S, is a (σ,τ)(\sigma,\tau)- derivation if τ(S)\tau(S) is left invertible for fixed SS.
