Complete description of derivations on $tau$-compact operators for type I von Neumann algebras


Abstract in English

Given a type I von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal semi-finite trace $tau,$ let $S_0(M, tau)$ be the algebra of all $tau$-compact operators affiliated with $M.$ We give a complete description of all derivations on the algebra $S_0(M, tau).$ In particular, we prove that if $M$ is of type I$_infty$ then every derivation on $S_0(M, tau)$ is spatial.
