Denote by t the Lie algebra over R consisting of all upper triangular n by n matrices and let b be the Lie subalgebra of t consisting of all matrices of trace 0. The aim of this paper is to give an explicit description of the derivation algebras of the Lie algebras t and b, respectively. Key words: derivations of Lie algebras, commutative rings. MSC(2000): 17B CLC number: O152.2 1. Introduction Let R be a commutative ring with identity and R∗ the group of invertible elements of R. Let M (R) be the R-algebra of n by n matrices over R that has a structure of a Lie algebra over n R with the bracket [x, y] = xy − yx. We denote by t (resp., n) the subset of M (R) consisting of n all upper triangular (resp., strictly upper triangular) matrices. When n 1, let b be the subset of t consisting of all matrices of trace 0. Cao[1−3] described the automorphism groups of t, n and b respectively, when they are viewed as Lie algebras. Jϕndrup[4] gave a complete description of the derivations of t, when t is viewed as a ring. 2. Preliminaries Following the notations in [1] mainly, we denote
