Abstract
Let denote the algebra of complex matrices and let be an arbitrary structural matrix algebra, i.e. a subalgebra of that contains all diagonal matrices. We consider injective maps that satisfy the condition where is either the standard matrix multiplication , the Jordan product , or the normalized Jordan product . We show that all such maps are automatically additive if and only if does not contain a central rank-one idempotent. Moreover, in this case, we fully characterize the form of these maps.
