Abstract

A linear mapping ϕ\phi on an algebra A\mathcal{A} is called a centralizable mapping at GAG\in\mathcal{A} if ϕ(AB)=ϕ(A)B=Aϕ(B)\phi(AB)=\phi(A)B=A\phi(B) for each AA and BB in A\mathcal{A} with AB=GAB=G, and ϕ\phi is called a derivable mapping at GAG\in\mathcal{A} if ϕ(AB)=ϕ(A)B+Aϕ(B)\phi(AB)=\phi(A)B+A\phi(B) for each AA and BB in A\mathcal{A} with AB=GAB=G. A point GG in A\mathcal{A} is called a full-centralizable point (resp. full-derivable point) if every centralizable (resp. derivable) mapping at GG is a centralizer (resp. derivation). We prove that every point in a von Neumann algebra or a triangular algebra is a full-centralizable point. We also prove that a point in a von Neumann algebra is a full-derivable point if and only if its central carrier is the unit.
