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.

We study linear spaces of symmetric matrices whose reciprocal is also a linear space. These are Jordan algebras. We classify such algebras in low dimensions, and we study the associated Jordan loci in the Grassmannian.

We introduce and study a new notion of amenability called symmetric pseudo-amenability. We obtain some properties of symmetrically pseudo-amenable Banach algebras and with examples, we compare this type of amenability with some other types…

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…

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…

A theory of reduction of Lie-Jordan Banach algebras with respect to either a Jordan ideal or a Lie-Jordan subalgebra is presented. This theory is compared with the standard reduction of C*-algebras of observables of a quantum system in the…

Let $\mathfrak{J}$ be a JB$^*$-algebra with no quotients isomorphic to $S_2(\mathbb{C})$. Let $\mu$ be a local quasi-linear Jordan functional on $\mathfrak{J}_{sa}$. We show that $\mu$ is a linear functional on $\mathfrak{J}_{sa}$ if and…

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…

Let $M$ and $N$ be two unital JB$^*$-algebras and let $\mathcal{U} (M)$ and $\mathcal{U} (N)$ denote the sets of all unitaries in $M$ and $N$, respectively. We prove that the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ $M$ and $N$ are…

Let U be a $\phi $-Johnson amenable Banach algebra in which $\phi$ is a non-zero multiplicative linear functional on U. Suppose that X is a Banach U-bimodule such that $a.x=\phi(a)x$ for all a in U and x in X or $x.a=\phi(a)x$ for all a in…

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…

A well known result of Haagerup from 1983 states that every C*-algebra A is weakly amenable, that is, every (associative) derivation from A into its dual is inner. A Banach algebra B is said to be ternary weakly amenable if every continuous…

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 $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital Banach $*$-algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ be a unital $*$-$\mathcal{A}$-bimodule. If $W$ is a left separating point of $\mathcal{M}$, we show that every $*$-derivable mapping at $W$ is a Jordan derivation, and every…

In this paper, we show that the essentiality of the scole of an ideal B i a semi-simple Banach algebra A implies that any invertibility preserving isomorphism on A is a Jordan homomorphism. Specially ...

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

In this paper, we prove that the existence of an $\varepsilon$-isometry from a separable Banach space $X$ into $Y$ (the James space or a reflexive space) implies the existence of a linear isometry from $X$ into $Y$. Then we present a set…

Real smooth three-dimensional or higher Banach spaces are isomorphic with respect to the nonlinear structure of Birkhoff-James orthogonality if and only if they are isometrically isomorphic. Moreover, using smooth Radon planes and…

By analogy with the well-established notions of just-infinite groups and just-infinite algebras, in particular $C^*$-algebras, we initiate a study of just-infinite $JB$-algebras, i.e. infinite dimensional $JB$-algebras for which all proper…

We investigate surjective isometries between projection lattices of two von Neumann algebras. We show that such a mapping is characterized by means of Jordan $^*$-isomorphisms. In particular, we prove that two von Neumann algebras without…
