Abstract

We introduce the notion of weak-2-local derivation (respectively, ^*-derivation) on a C^*-algebra AA as a (non-necessarily linear) map Δ:AA\Delta : A\to A satisfying that for every a,bAa,b\in A and ϕA\phi\in A^* there exists a derivation (respectively, a ^*-derivation) Da,b,ϕ:AAD_{a,b,\phi}: A\to A, depending on aa, bb and ϕ\phi, such that ϕΔ(a)=ϕDa,b,ϕ(a)\phi \Delta (a) = \phi D_{a,b,\phi} (a) and ϕΔ(b)=ϕDa,b,ϕ(b)\phi \Delta (b) = \phi D_{a,b,\phi} (b). We prove that every weak-2-local ^*-derivation on MnM_n is a linear derivation. We also show that the same conclusion remains true for weak-2-local ^*-derivations on finite dimensional C^*-algebras.
