Naturality and innerness for morphisms of compact groups and (restricted) Lie algebras.

An extended derivation (endomorphism) of a (restricted) Lie algebra L is an assignment of a derivation (respectively) of L' for any (restricted) Lie morphism f:L\to L', functorial in f in the obvious sense. We show that (a) the only extended endomorphisms of a restricted Lie algebra are the two obvious ones, assigning either the identity or the zero map of L' to every f; and (b) if L is a Lie algebra in characteristic zero or a restricted Lie algebra in positive characteristic, then L is in canonical bijection with its space of extended derivations (so the latter are all, in a sense, inner). These results answer a number of questions of G. Bergman. In a similar vein, we show that the individual components of an extended endomorphism of a compact connected group are either all trivial or all inner automorphisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
