Let $A$, $B$ be algebras and $a\in A$, $b\in B$ a fixed pair of elements. We say that a map $\varphi:A\to B$ preserves products equal to $a$ and $b$ if for all $a_1,a_2\in A$ the equality $a_1a_2=a$ implies $\varphi(a_1)\varphi(a_2)=b$. In…

Let $I(X,K)$ be the incidence algebra of a finite connected poset $X$ over a field $K$ and $D(X,K)$ its subalgebra consisting of diagonal elements. We describe the bijective linear maps $\varphi:I(X,K)\to I(X,K)$ that strongly preserve the…

In this article, we give a representation of bounded complex linear operators which preserve idempotent elements on the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group. When such an operator is moreover positive or contractive, we show that the…

We resolve an algebraic version of Schoenberg's celebrated theorem [Duke Math.J., 1942] characterizing entrywise matrix transforms that preserve positive definiteness. Compared to the classical real and complex settings, we consider…

Let $X$ be a finite connected poset and $K$ a field. We give a full description of the Lie automorphisms of the incidence algebra $I(X,K)$. In particular, we show that they are in general not proper.

Let $X$ be a finite connected poset and $K$ a field. We study the question, when all Lie automorphisms of the incidence algebra $I(X,K)$ are proper. Without any restriction on the length of $X$ we find only a sufficient condition involving…

We describe automorphisms and derivations of the incidence coalgebra $\text{Co}(X,F)$ of the partially ordered set $X$ over a field $F$. In this case, the fact is significantly used that the dual algebra of the coalgebra $\text{Co}(X,F)$ is…

Let $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of the preordered set $X$ over the ring $R$. In the case of a finite connected partially ordered set $X$, we prove that the subgroup of inner multiplicative automorphisms is a direct factor of the group…

Let $K$ be a field and $X$ a partially ordered set (poset). Let $FI(X,K)$ and $I(X,K)$ be the finitary incidence algebra and the incidence space of $X$ over $K$, respectively, and let $D(X,K)=FI(X,K)(+)I(X,K)$ be the idealization of the…

We consider profunctors $f : P \promap Q$ between posets and introduce their {\em graph} and {\em ascent}. The profunctors $\Pro(P,Q)$ form themselves a poset, and we consider a partition $\cI \sqcup \cF$ of this into a down-set $\cI$ and…

Let $K$ be a field and $X$ a connected partially ordered set. In the first part of this paper, we show that the finitary incidence algebra $FI(X,K)$ of $X$ over $K$ has an involution of the second kind if and only if $X$ has an involution…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type $I_1$. Assume that $\Phi:{\mathcal M}\rightarrow {\mathcal M}$ is a surjective map. It is shown that $\Phi$ is strong skew commutativity preserving (that is,…

In the paper we proved that for a compact $X$ inclusion $I_{f}(X)\in ANR$ holds if and only if $X\in ANR$. Further, it is shown that the functor $I_{f}$ preserves property of a compact to be $Q$-manyfold or a Hilbert cube, preserves…

An order-preserving Freiman 2-isomorphism is a map $\phi:X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $\phi(a) < \phi(b)$ if and only if $a < b$ and $\phi(a)+\phi(b) = \phi(c)+\phi(d)$ if and only if $a+b=c+d$ for any $a,b,c,d \in X$. We show that…
