Abstract

Let δ 1 ,…, δ d be a finite sequence of ∗ -derivations on a C ∗ -algebra U such that the Laplacian Δ = − ∑ K = 1 d δ k 2 is densely defined. We prove that if −Δ is dissipative, then δ 1 ,…, δ d are conservative on the domain of Δ. This has consequences for integrability of Lie-algebras of derivations. The result does not extend to general Banach ∗ -algebras.
