Abstract
The problem of extending derivations of a field to an algebra is widely studied in commutative algebra and non-commutative ring theory. For example, every derivation of extends to if is a separable algebraic extension or a central simple algebra over We unify and generalize these results by showing that a derivation of with the field of constants extends to a finite dimensional algebra if is a form of some algebra having a smooth automorphism scheme . Furthermore, we show that the set of derivations of that extend the derivation of is in bijection with the set of derivations such that is a differential torsor where is the torsor corresponding to .
