Recursive construction of higher-order alpha-derivations

From papers

Let AK[x]A\subseteq\mathbb{K}[x] be a subalgebra, let α\alpha be the evaluation point used in the definition of an α\alpha-derivation, and let L1,L3,,LnL_1,L_3,\ldots,L_n be the recursively constructed linear maps from the coefficients Ci(n)C_i^{(n)} and the operators DjD_j described immediately before the claim. For odd nn define

Ln=i=0nCi(n)ciDni.L_n=\sum_{i=0}^n C_i^{(n)}c^iD_{n-i}.

Higher-order derivation conjecture. If

L1(f)=L3(f)==Ln2(f)=0L_1(f)=L_3(f)=\cdots=L_{n-2}(f)=0

for every fAf\in A, then LnL_n is an α\alpha-derivation in AA. The preceding theorem gives uniqueness of the coefficients Ci(n)C_i^{(n)} satisfying the required relations; the conjecture asserts that the resulting next map has the derivation property under the stated vanishing conditions.
