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…

In this paper we are going to investigate the approximate biprojectivity and the $\phi$-biflatness of some Banach algebras related to the locally compact groups. We show that a Segal algebra $S(G)$ is approximate biprojective if and only if…

Let H and K be two Hilbert spaces and B(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators from H into itself. The main purpose of this paper is to obtain a characterization of bijective maps $\Phi$ : B(H) $\rightarrow$ B(K) satisfying the…

Let $M_n$ denote the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices and let $\mathcal{A}\subseteq M_n$ be an arbitrary structural matrix algebra, i.e. a subalgebra of $M_n$ that contains all diagonal matrices. We consider injective maps $\phi :…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a prime $\ast$-algebra and $\Phi$ preserves triple $\ast$-Jordan derivation on $\mathcal{A}$, that is, for every $A,B \in \mathcal{A}$, $$\Phi(A\diamond B \diamond C)=\Phi(A)\diamond B\diamond C+A\diamond…

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…

Let $G$ be a semiabelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $K$, endowed with a rational self-map $\Phi$. Let $\alpha\in G(K)$ and let $\Gamma\subseteq G(K)$ be a finitely generated subgroup. We show that the set…

Let $C$ be a general unital AH-algebra and let $A$ be a unital simple $C^*$-algebra with tracial rank at most one. Suppose that $\phi, \psi: C\to A$ are two unital monomorphisms. We show that $\phi$ and $\psi$ are approximately unitarily…

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 $A$ be an unital alternative $*$-algebra. Assume that $A$ contains a nontrivial symmetric idempotent element $e$ which satisfies $xA \cdot e = 0$ implies $x = 0$ and $xA \cdot (1_A - e) = 0$ implies $x = 0$. In this paper, it is shown…

Following a result of Hatori, Miura and Tagaki ([4]) we give here a spectral characterization of an isomorphism from a $C^\star$-algebra onto a Banach algebra. We then use this result to show that a $C^\star$-algebra $A$ is isomorphic to a…

A surjective bounded homomorphism fails to preserve $n$-weak amenability, in general. We however show that it preserves the property if the involved homomorphism enjoys a right inverse. We examine this fact for certain homomorphisms on…

Let $\cal A$ and $\cal B$ be Banach algebras. A linear map $T:{\cal A} \rightarrow {\cal B}$ is called separating or disjointness preserving if $ab=0$ implies $Ta\;Tb = 0$ for all $a,b\in {\cal A}$. In this paper, we study a new class of…

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 (A,phi) be the reduced free product of infinitely many pairs (A_i,phi_i) of C*-algebras with faithful states. Assume that the A_i are not too small, in a specific sense. It is shown that if phi is a trace then K_0(A) is determined…

We prove that every Jordan left $\alpha$-centralizer from an algebra $A$ with a right identity into an arbitrary algebra $B$ is a left $\alpha$-centralizer. This implies all Jordan homomorphisms between such algebras are homomorphisms. We…

Let $T:A\to X$ be a bounded linear operator, where $A$ is a C$^*$-algebra, and $X$ denotes an essential Banach $A$-bimodule. We prove that the following statements are equivalent: $(a)$ $T$ is anti-derivable at zero (i.e. $ab =0$ in $A$…

We consider a Banach algebra $A$ with the property that, roughly speaking, sufficiently many irreducible representations of $A$ on nontrivial Banach spaces do not vanish on all square zero elements. The class of Banach algebras with this…
