We prove that every surjective unital linear mapping which preserves invertible elements from a Banach algebra onto a C*-algebra carrying a faithful tracial state is a Jordan homomorphism thus generalising Aupetit's 1998 result for finite…

Let $A$ and $B$ be complex unital Banach algebras, and let $\varphi, \psi: A \to B$ be surjective mappings. If $A$ is semisimple with an essential socle and $\varphi$ and $\psi$ preserves the invertibility of linear pencils in both…

We prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a complex, unital semisimple Banach algebra and $\mathcal{B}$ is a complex, unital Banach algebra having a separating family of finite-dimensional irreducible representations, then any unital linear…

We establish Jafarian's 2009 conjecture that every additive spectrum preserving mapping from a von Neumann algebra onto a semisimple Banach algebra is a Jordan isomorphism.

We prove that unital surjective spectral isometries on certain non-simple unital C*-algebras are Jordan isomorphisms. Along the way, we establish several general facts in the setting of semisimple Banach algebras.

In this paper, we study the types of Jordan derivations of a Banach algebra $A$ with a right identity $e$. We show that if $eA$ is commutative and semisimple, then every Jordan derivation of $ A $ is a derivation. In this case, Jordan…

We study new classes of linear preservers between C$^*$-algebras and JB$^*$-triples. Let $E$ and $F$ be JB$^*$-triples with $\partial_{e} (E_1)$. We prove that every linear map $T:E\to F$ strongly preserving Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible…

In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete…

Let B(X) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Banach space X of dimension at least three. For an arbitrary nonzero complex number t we determine the form of mappings f: B(X)-->B(X) with sufficiently large range such…

Let $n\in \Bbb N,$ and let $A,B$ be two rings. An additive map $h: A\to B$ is called n-Jordan homomorphism if $h(a^n)=(h(a))^n$ for all $a \in {A}$. Every Jordan homomorphism is an n-Jordan homomorphism, for all $n\geq 2,$ but the converse…

In this paper, we describe linear maps between complex Banach algebras that preserve products equal to fixed elements. This generalizes some important special cases where the fixed elements are the zero or identity element. First we show…

Let $A$ and $B$ be commutative algebras and $n\geqslant 2$ an integer. Then each $n-$ Jordan homomorphism $h:A\rightarrow B$ is an $n-$homomorphism.

Let $A$ and $B$ be Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities and let $\Phi:A\to B$ be a surjective continuous linear map which preserves two-sided zero products (i.e., $\Phi(a)\Phi(b)=\Phi(b)\Phi(a)=0$ whenever $ab=ba=0$). We show…

We prove the existence of a linear isometric correspondence between the Banach space of all symmetric orthogonal forms on a JB$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{J}$ and the Banach space of all purely Jordan generalized derivations from $\mathcal{J}$…

Let $A$ and $B$ be associative algebras over a field $F$ with {\rm char}$(F)\ne 2$. Our first main result states that if $A$ is unital and equal to its commutator ideal, then every Jordan epimorphism $\varphi:A\to B$ is the sum of a…

Let T be be a zero-product preserving bounded linear map between C*-algebras A and B. Here neither A nor B is necessarily unital. In this note, we investigate when T gives rise to a Jordan homomorphism. In particular, we show that A and B…

We prove that for all 1 \le p \le \infty, p not 2, the Lp spaces associated to two von Neumann algebras M,N are isometrically isomorphic if and only if M and N are Jordan *-isomorphic. This follows from a noncommutative Lp Banach-Stone…

We prove that for a bijective, unital, linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if, and only if, it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) $JB$-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms.…
