Abstract

For automorphism groups of operator algebras we show how properties of the difference ‖α t − α' t ‖ are reflected in relations between the generators δα, δ′α. Indeed for a von Neumann algebraM with separable predual we show that if ‖αt − α't‖ ≦ 0.28 for smallt, then δα = γ0(δ′α+δ′)°γ-1 where γ is an inner automorphism ofM and δ is a bounded derivation ofM. If the difference ‖α t − α' t ‖=O(t) ast →; 0, then δα = δ′α + δ and if ‖α t − α' t ‖ ≦ 0.28 for allt then δα=. We prove analogous results for unitary groups on a Hilbert space andC 0,C *0 groups on a Banach space.
