2-local triple derivations on von Neumann algebras

Abstract

We prove that every {\rm(}not necessarily linear nor continuous{\rm)} 2-local triple derivation on a von Neumann algebra $M$ is a triple derivation, equivalently, the set Der${}_t(M)$, of all triple derivations on $M,$ is algebraically 2-reflexive in the set $\mathcal{M}(M)=M^M$ of all mappings from $M$ into $M$.
