Abstract

Given a von Neumann algebra MM we introduce so called central extension mix(M)mix(M) of MM. We show that mix(M)mix(M) is a *-subalgebra in the algebra LS(M)LS(M) of all locally measurable operators with respect to M,M, and this algebra coincides with LS(M)LS(M) if and only if MM does not admit type II direct summands. We prove that if MM is a properly infinite von Neumann algebra then every additive derivation on the algebra mix(M)mix(M) is inner. This implies that on the algebra LS(M)LS(M), where MM is a type I_\infty or a type III von Neumann algebra, all additive derivations are inner derivations.
