A $\delta$-first Whitehead Lemma

Abstract

We prove that δ\delta-derivations of a simple finite-dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, with values in a finite-dimensional module, are either inner derivations, or, in the case of adjoint module, multiplications by a scalar, or some exceptional cases related to sl(2)\mathfrak{sl}(2). This can be viewed as an extension of the classical first Whitehead Lemma.
