Local derivations is a Lie algebra

Abstract

In this paper, we utilize the reflexive hull to unify the concepts of local and almost inner derivations. By investigating the algebraic structure of reflexive hulls, we prove the conjecture on the structure of local derivations proposed by Ayupov, Elduque, and Kudaybergenov (\emph{J. Pure Appl. Algebra}, 2023), as well as the conjecture concerning the structure of almost inner derivations proposed by Burde, Dekimpe, and Verbeke (\emph{J. Algebra Appl.}, 2018).
