2-Local derivations on a Block-type Lie algebra
Qiufan Chen, Xiaohan Guo
TL;DR
This work addresses the problem of characterizing 2-local derivations on the Block-type Lie algebra $\mathcal{B}$, which has an infinite-dimensional structure and an outer derivation. By decomposing 2-local derivations into sums of inner derivations and a multiple of the outer derivation and performing a detailed basis-wise analysis, the authors show that any 2-local derivation must coincide with a global derivation. The proof relies on a sequence of lemmas that constrain the action of $\Delta$ on key basis elements and ultimately reduce to the standard derivation framework. The result extends local-to-global rigidity phenomena from finite-dimensional Lie algebras to this infinite-dimensional Block-type setting, contributing to the understanding of 2-local derivations in Lie theory.
Abstract
The present paper is devoted to study 2-local derivations on the Block-type Lie algebra which is an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra with some outer derivations. We prove that every 2-local derivation on the Block-type Lie algebra is a derivation.
