The Spectrum of a Derivation of a C*-Algebra
Charles A. Akemann
and
Phillip A. Ostrand
University of California Santa Barbara
This paper considers a *-derivation
of a C*-algebra u and shows that its spectrum (as an operator on u) is completely determined by the spectra of the operators an which generate
in each factor representation
of u. Several applications to derivations and automorphisms are given.
