Additive derivations on generalized Arens algebras

Abstract

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal finite trace $\tau$ denote by $L^\Lambda(M, \tau)$ the generalized Arens algebra with respect to $M.$ We give a complete description of all additive derivations on the algebra $L^\Lambda(M, \tau).$ In particular each additive derivation on the algebra $L^{\Lambda}(M, \tau),$ where $M$ is a type II von Neumann algebra, is inner.
