Abstract

We prove that, under rather general conditions, the 1-cohomology of a von Neumann algebra $M$ with values in a Banach $M$ -bimodule satisfying a combination of smoothness and operatorial conditions vanishes. For instance, we show that, if $M$ acts normally on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal{H}}$ and ${\mathcal{B}}_{0}\subset {\mathcal{B}}({\mathcal{H}})$ is a norm closed $M$ -bimodule such that any $T\in {\mathcal{B}}_{0}$ is smooth (i.e., the left and right multiplications of $T$ by $x\in M$ are continuous from the unit ball of $M$ with the $s^{\ast }$ -topology to ${\mathcal{B}}_{0}$ with its norm), then any derivation of $M$ into ${\mathcal{B}}_{0}$ is inner. The compact operators are smooth over any $M\subset {\mathcal{B}}({\mathcal{H}})$ , but there is a large variety of non-compact smooth elements as well.
