Abstract

Let M{\mathcal M} be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type I1I_1. Assume that Φ:MM\Phi:{\mathcal M}\rightarrow {\mathcal M} is a surjective map. It is shown that Φ\Phi is strong skew commutativity preserving (that is, satisfies Φ(A)Φ(B)Φ(B)Φ(A)=ABBA\Phi(A)\Phi(B)-\Phi(B)\Phi(A)^*=AB-BA^* for all A,BMA,B\in{\mathcal M}) if and only if there exists some self-adjoint element ZZ in the center of M{\mathcal M} with Z2=IZ^2=I such that Φ(A)=ZA\Phi(A)=ZA for all AMA\in{\mathcal M}. The strong skew commutativity preserving maps on prime involution rings and prime involution algebras are also characterized.
