A note on derivations of Murray-von Neumann algebras
Abstract
In this article, derivations of algebras of unbounded operators acting on a Hilbert space are discussed. Derivations appear as the generators of one-parameter groups that express the symmetries and dynamical evolution of quantum-mechanical systems. One can see this relation to derivations by examining Dirac's Program for a mathematical formulation of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics.
