Let Sp0, 1q be the ˚-algebra of all classes of Lebesgue measurable functions on the unit interval p0, 1q and let pA, }¨} A q be a complete symmetric ∆-normed ˚-subalgebra of Sp0, 1q, in which simple functions are dense, e.g., L8p0, 1q, L log p0, 1q, Sp0, 1q and the Arens algebra L ω p0, 1q equipped with their natural ∆-norms. We show that there exists no non-trivial derivation δ : A Ñ Sp0, 1q commuting with all dyadic translations of the unit interval. Let M be a type II (or I8) von Neumann algebra, A be its abelian von Neumann subalgebra, let SpMq be the algebra of all measurable operators affiliated with M. We show that any non-trivial derivation δ : A Ñ SpAq can not be extended to a derivation on SpMq. In particular, we answer an untreated question in [8].
