Characterization of Lie centralizable mappings on B(X)

Abstract

Assume that B(X) is the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Banach space X, and let W in B(X) is such that cl(W(X)) is not equal to X or W=zI, where z is a complex number and I is the identity operator. We show that if f: B(X) --> B(X) is an additive mapping Lie centralizable at W, then f(A)=kA+h(A) for all A in B(X), where k is a complex number and h:B(X)--> CI is an additive mapping such that h([A,B])=0 for all A,B in B(X) with AB=W.
