From Derivations to Automorphism: A Cohomological Classification of n-Structures in Nest Algebras

Khalil H. Hakami

Abstract

This paper develops a unified cohomological framework for analyzing n-derivations and their induced derivational automorphisms on nest algebras, extending classical Hochschild cohomology into the realm of higher-order operator algebraic structures. By constructing explicit n-cochain complexes adapted to the triangular nature of nest algebras, we classify n-derivations up to cohomological equivalence and provide precise criteria for their innerness. We demonstrate that the vanishing of higher-order cohomology groups corresponds to structural rigidity, while non-trivial cohomology classes reflect obstructions to decomposability and inner implementation. Moreover, we show that cohomologically trivial n-derivations preserve essential algebraic features, including the radical, center, invariant subspaces, and two-sided ideals. Through explicit computations of Hⁿ(A,A) for low-dimensional examples, we verify the existence of non-trivial cohomological classes. Additionally, we introduce a dual cohomology theory for n-automorphisms via exponential mappings and establish a bidirectional correspondence between infinitesimal derivations and global automorphisms. This approach unifies derivational and automorphic symmetries under a single cohomological classification, offering new perspectives toward deformation theory, categorical dualities, and quantum operator structures.
