Abstract

Suppose that \calak\calak is a CC^*-algebra acting on a Hilbert space \calhk\calhk, and that ϕ,ψ\phi, \psi are mappings from \calak\calak into B(\calhk)B(\calhk) which are not assumed to be necessarily linear or continuous. A (ϕ,ψ)(\phi, \psi)-derivation is a linear mapping d:\calakB(\calhk)d: \calak \to B(\calhk) such that d(ab)=ϕ(a)d(b)+d(a)ψ(b)(a,b\calak).d(ab)=\phi(a)d(b)+d(a)\psi(b)\quad (a,b\in \calak). We prove that if ϕ\phi is a multiplicative (not necessarily linear) *-mapping, then every *-(ϕ,ϕ)(\phi,\phi)-derivation is automatically continuous. Using this fact, we show that every *-(ϕ,ψ)(\phi,\psi)-derivation dd from \calak\calak into B(\calhk)B(\calhk) is continuous if and only if the *-mappings ϕ\phi and ψ\psi are left and right dd-continuous, respectively.
