Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be a unital CC^{*}-algebra. We consider Jordan *-homomorphisms on C(X,A)C(X, \mathcal{A}) and Jordan *-homomorphisms on Lip(X,A)\operatorname{Lip}(X,\mathcal{A}). More precisely, for any unital CC^{*}-algebra A\mathcal{A}, we prove that every Jordan *-homomorphism on C(X,A)C(X, \mathcal{A}) and every Jordan *-homomorphism on Lip(X,A)\operatorname{Lip}(X,\mathcal{A}) is represented as a weighted composition operator by using the irreducible representations of A\mathcal{A}. In addition, when A1\mathcal{A}_1 and A2\mathcal{A}_2 are primitive CC^{*}-algebras, we characterize the Jordan *-isomorphisms. These results unify and enrich previous works on algebra *-homomorphisms on C(X,A)C(X, \mathcal{A}) and Lip(X,A)\operatorname{Lip}(X,\mathcal{A}) for several concrete examples of A\mathcal{A}.
