Abstract

Let E(M,τ)E(\mathcal{M},\tau) and F(M,τ)F(\mathcal{M},\tau) be two Calkin operator spaces affiliated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra M\mathcal{M} equipped with a semifinite faithful normal trace τ\tau . We show that if M\mathcal{M} is atomless, τ\tau is finite, and E(v,τ)⊈F(M,τ)E(v,\tau)\not\subseteq F(\mathcal{M},\tau), then every order-measure continuous and disjointness-preserving mapping T:E(M,τ)intoF(M,τ)T:E(\mathcal{M},\tau)\xrightarrow{\rm into} F(\mathcal{M},\tau) is identical to the zero mapping, which establishes a noncommutative version of Abramovich's theorem. We also show that every positive isometry TT from a normed M\mathcal{M}-bimodule E(M,τ)E(\mathcal{M},\tau) of τ\tau-measurable operators into another F(M,τ)F(\mathcal{M},\tau) preserves disjointness provided that the norm of F(M,τ)F(\mathcal{M},\tau) is strictly monotone. As an application, we obtain the general form of TT, which extends and unifies several results due to Abramovich, de Jager, Conradie, Veksler and Sukochev et al. \cite{SV,HSZ20,Abra1991,vek,dC20}.
