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.

It is shown that every linear surjective isometry between two right, full, Hilbert C*-modules is a sum of two maps : a (bi-) module map (which is completely isometric and preserves the inner product) and a map that reverses the (bi-) module…

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…

Let $A$ and $B$ be C$^*$-algebras. A linear map $T:A\to B$ is said to be a $^*$-homomorphism at an element $z\in A$ if $a b^*=z$ in $A$ implies $T (a b^*) =T (a) T (b)^* =T(z)$, and $ c^* d=z$ in $A$ gives $T (c^* d) =T (c)^* T (d) =T(z).$…

In this paper, we extend the notion of orthogonality to the general elements of an absolute matrix order unit space and relate it to the orthogonality among positive elements. We introduce the notion of a partial isometry in an absolute…

This paper is, in a first stage, devoted to establish a topological--algebraic characterization of the principal component, $\mathcal{U}^0 (M)$, of the set of unitary elements, $\mathcal{U} (M)$, in a unital JB$^*$-algebra $M$. We arrive to…

We give sufficient conditions allowing one to build a C*-algebraic structure on a self-adjoint linear subspace of a C*-algebra in such a way that the subspace is naturally identified with the resulting C*-algebra via a completely positive…

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…

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…

We study holomorphic maps between C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$. When $f:B_A (0,\varrho) \longrightarrow B$ is a holomorphic mapping whose Taylor series at zero is uniformly converging in some open unit ball $U=B_{A}(0,\delta)$ and we assume…

We show that any order isomorphism between ordered structures of associative unital JB-subalgebras of JBW algebras is implemented naturally by a Jordan isomorphism. Consequently, JBW algebras are determined by the structure of their…

We give a structural characterisation of linear operators from one $C^\ast$% -algebra into another whose adjoints map extreme points of the dual ball onto extreme points. We show that up to a $\ast$-isomorphism, such a map admits of a…

We study surjective maps between the sets of all self-adjoint elements of unital $C^*$-algebras which satisfy the multiplicatively spectrum-preserving property. We show that such maps are characterized by Jordan isomorphisms and central…

We propose a unified approach to the study of isometries on algebras of vector-valued Lipschitz maps and those of continuously differentiable maps by means of the notion of admissible quadruples. We describe isometries on function spaces of…

In this paper, we consider the linear direct sum of a real normed linear space with an order unit space and with a base normed space to obtain respectively a new order unit space and a new base normed space. As a consequence, we find that…

We give an order-theoretic characterization of the JB-algebras among the complete order unit spaces in terms of the existence of an order-anti-automorphism of the interior of the cone that is homogeneous of degree -1. More geometrically, we…

Let $A \subset C$ and $B \subset D$ be unital inclusions of unital $C^*$-algebras. Let ${}_A \mathbf{B}_A (C, A)$ (resp. ${}_B \mathbf{B}_B (D, B)$) be the space of all bounded $A$-bimodule (resp. $B$-bimodule) linear maps from $C$ (resp.…

We characterize bijections on matrix spaces (operator algebras) preserving full rank (invertibility) of differences of matrix (operator) pairs in both directions.

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…

Consider a unital C*-algebra A, a von Neumann algebra M, a unital sub-C*-algebra C of A and a unital *-homomorphism $\pi$ from C to M. Let u: A --> M be a decomposable map (i.e. a linear combination of completely positive maps) which is a…
