Let ${\mathcal M}_2(\mathbb F)$ be the algebra of 2$\times$2 matrices over the real or complex field $\mathbb F$. For a given positive integer $k\geq 1$, the $k$-commutator of $A$ and $B$ is defined by $[A,B]_k=[[A,B]_{k-1},B]$ with…

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.…

Let $X$ be a Banach space of dimension $\geq 2$ over the real or complex field ${\mathbb F}$ and ${\mathcal A}$ a standard operator algebra in ${\mathcal B}(X)$. A map $\Phi:{\mathcal A} \rightarrow {\mathcal A}$ is said to be strong…

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 $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…

Let $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices. We consider arbitrary subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of $M_n$ which contain the algebra of all upper-triangular matrices (i.e.\ block upper-triangular subalgebras), and their Jordan…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{A}'$ be two $C^*$-algebras with identities $I_{\mathfrak{A}}$ and $I_{\mathfrak{A}'}$, respectively, and $P_1$ and $P_2 = I_{\mathfrak{A}} - P_1$ nontrivial projections in $\mathfrak{A}$. In this paper we…

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…

A general construction is given for a class of invertible maps between the classical $U(sl(2))$ and the Jordanian $U_{h}(sl(2))$ algebras. Different maps are directly useful in different contexts. Similarity trasformations connecting them,…

Frames formed by orbits of vectors through the iteration of a bounded operator have recently attracted considerable attention, in particular due to its applications to dynamical sampling. In this article, we consider two commuting bounded…

Given Hilbert spaces $H_1,H_2,H_3$, we consider bilinear maps defined on the cartesian product $S^2(H_2,H_3)\times S^2(H_1,H_2)$ of spaces of Hilbert-Schmidt operators and valued in either the space $B(H_1,H_3)$ of bounded operators, or in…

Let $\A$ be a unital complex (Banach) algebra and $\M$ be a unital (Banach) $\A$-bimodule. The main results describe (continuous) derivations or Jordan derivations $D:\A\rightarrow \M$ through the action on zero products, under certain…

We define the domain of a linear fractional transformation in a space of operators and show that both the affine automorphisms and the compositions of symmetries act transitively on these domains. Further, we show that Liouville's theorem…

Uhlmann showed that there exists a positive, unital and trace-preserving map transforming a Hermitian matrix $A$ into another $B$ if and only if the vector of eigenvalues of $A$ majorizes that of $B$. In this work I characterize the…
