Abstract
We show that, for , 1-cocycles of degree zero on the Lie algebra of derivations of the free associative algebra with values in are linear combinations of the non-commutative divergence and its switch, when restricted to finite-degree quotients. Here, denotes the space of cyclic words. Furthermore, we study 1-cocycles of degree zero on the Lie algebra of symplectic derivations of the free Lie algebra , and prove the uniqueness of the Enomoto-Satoh trace.
