Let $T: A\to B$ be a (not necessarily surjective) linear isometry between two real JB$^*$-triples. Then for each $a\in A$ there exists a tripotent $u_a$ in the bidual, $B'',$ of $B$ such that \begin{enumerate}[$(a)$] \item…

It is shown that every linear strong Birkhoff-James isomorphism between unital $C^*$-algebras is a $*$-isomorphism followed by a unitary multiplication. Moreover, as a partial extension of this result to the non-unital case, the form of…

We prove new results on generalized derivations on C$^*$-algebras. By considering the triple product $\{a,b,c\} =2^{-1} (a b^* c + c b^* a)$, we introduce the study of linear maps which are triple derivations or triple homomorphisms at a…

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 ...

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

We introduce and study the class of extremally rich JB$^*$-triples. We establish new results to determine the distance from an element $a$ in an extremally rich JB$^*$-triple $E$ to the set $\partial_{e} (E_1)$ of all extreme points of the…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two factor von Neumann algebras and $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number. A nonlinear bijective map $\phi:\mathcal A\rightarrow\mathcal B$ has been demonstrated to satisfy…

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 $A,B$ be C*-algebras, $B_A(0;r)$ the open ball in $A$ centered at $0$ with radius $r>0$, and $H:B_A(0;r)\to B$ an orthogonally additive holomorphic map. If $H$ is zero product preserving on positive elements in $B_A(0;r)$, we show, in…

Main result: If a C*-algebra is simple, $\sigma$-unital, has finitely many extremal traces, and has strict comparison of positive elements by traces, then its multiplier also has strict comparison of positive elements by traces. The same…

We introduce the Jordan-strict topology on the multipliers algebra of a JB$^*$-algebra, a notion which was missing despite the fourty years passed after the first studies on Jordan multipliers. In case that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ is regarded…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra. We consider Jordan $*$-homomorphisms on $C(X, \mathcal{A})$ and Jordan $*$-homomorphisms on $\operatorname{Lip}(X,\mathcal{A})$. More precisely, for any unital $C^{*}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we…

We classify bijective maps which strongly preserve Birkhoff-James orthogonality on a finite-dimensional complex $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that those maps are close to being real-linear isometries whose structure is also determined.

We classify spectrum-preserving endomorphisms of stable continuous-trace C^*-algebras up to inner automorphism by a surjective multiplicative invariant taking values in finite dimensional vector bundles over the spectrum. Specializing to…

We establish a more precise description of those surjective or bijective continuous linear operators preserving orthogonality between C$^*$-algebras. The new description is applied to determine all uniformly continuous one-parameter…

We characterize when there exists a diagonal preserving $*$-isomorphism between two graph $C^*$-algebras in terms of the dynamics of the boundary path spaces. In particular, we refine the notion of "orbit equivalence" between the boundary…

It is established that every (not necessarily linear) 2-local $^*$-homomorphism from a von Neumann algebra into a C$^*$-algebra is linear and a $^*$-homomorphism. In the setting of (not necessarily linear) 2-local $^*$-homomorphism from a…

Let $E$ and $F$ be two Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, respectively. Let $T$ be a surjective linear isometry from $E$ onto $F$ and $\varphi$ a map from $A$ into $B$. We will prove in this paper that if the…

We establish new estimates to compute the $\lambda$-function of Aron and Lohman on the unit ball of a JB$^*$-triple. It is established that for every Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible element $a$ in a JB$^*$-triple $E$ we have $$\hbox{dist}…

This note consists of three unrelated remarks. First, we demonstrate how roughly speaking $*$-homomorphisms between matrix stable $C^*$-algebras are exactly the uniformly continuous $*$-preserving group homomorphisms between their genral…
