Characterizations of centralizers and derivations on some algebras

A linear mapping $ϕ$ on an algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is called a centralizable mapping at $G\in\mathcal{A}$ if $ϕ(AB)=ϕ(A)B=Aϕ(B)$ for each $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{A}$ with $AB=G$, and $ϕ$ is called a derivable mapping at $G\in\mathcal{A}$ if $ϕ(AB)=ϕ(A)B+Aϕ(B)$ for each $A$ and $B$ in $\mathcal{A}$ with $AB=G$. A point $G$ in $\mathcal{A}$ is called a full-centralizable point (resp. full-derivable point) if every centralizable (resp. derivable) mapping at $G$ is a centralizer (resp. derivation). We prove that every point in a von Neumann algebra or a triangular algebra is a full-centralizable point. We also prove that a point in a von Neumann algebra is a full-derivable point if and only if its central carrier is the unit.
