local derivations on Witt algebras

Rings and Algebras 2020-03-30 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that every local derivation on Witt algebras Wn,Wn+W_n, W_n^+ or Wn++W_n^{++} is a derivation for any nNn\in\mathbb{N}. As a consequence, we obtain that every local derivation on a centerless generalized Virasoro algebra of higher rank is a derivation.
