In this paper, we show that a Banach space $X$ has the Uniform Mazur Intersection Property (UMIP) if and only if every $f \in S(X^*)$ is uniformly w*-semidenting point of $B(X^*)$. We also prove analogous results for uniform w*-MIP.

We prove that every (not necessarily linear nor continuous) 2-local triple homomorphism from a JBW$^*$-triple into a JB$^*$-triple is linear and a triple homomorphism. Consequently, every 2-local triple homomorphism from a von Neumann…

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.…

We prove the existence of a linear isometric correspondence between the Banach space of all symmetric orthogonal forms on a JB$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{J}$ and the Banach space of all purely Jordan generalized derivations from $\mathcal{J}$…

We prove that every bounded local triple derivation on a unital C*-algebra is a triple derivation. A similar statement is established in the category of unital JB*-algebras.

For unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we completely characterize the isometric ($*$-) automorphisms of their Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes^\gamma B$. This leads to the characterization of inner and outer isometric…

We use the theory of regular objects in tensor categories to clarify the passage between braided multiplicative unitaries and multiplicative unitaries with projection. The braided multiplicative unitary and its semidirect product…

In this paper we show how some metric properties of the unit sphere of a normed space can help to approach a solution to Tingley's problem. In our main result we show that if an onto isometry between the spheres of strictly convex spaces is…

This paper deals with a property which is equivalent to generalised-lushness for separable spaces. It thus may be seemed as a geometrical property of a Banach space which ensures the space to have the Mazur-Ulam property. We prove that if a…

We show that a representation of a Banach algebra $A$ on a Banach space $X$ can be extended to a canonical representation of $A^{**}$ on $X$ if and only if certain orbit maps $A\to X$ are weakly compact. When this is the case, we show that…

We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…

It is shown that two Banach spaces are linearly isometric if and only if the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between them is finite, in particular, zero. The proof is compilative and relies on results obtained by many researchers on 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}…

Let $E$ and $B$ be arbitrary weakly compact JB$^*$-triples whose unit spheres are denoted by $S(E)$ and $S(B)$, respectively. We prove that every surjective isometry $f: S(E) \to S(B)$ admits an extension to a surjective real linear…

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…

Given two complex Hilbert spaces $H$ and $K$, let $S(B(H))$ and $S(B(K))$ denote the unit spheres of the C$^*$-algebras $B(H)$ and $B(K)$ of all bounded linear operators on $H$ and $K$, respectively. We prove that every surjective isometry…

We prove, among other results, that three standard measures of weak non-compactness coincide in preduals of JBW$^*$-triples. This result is new even for preduals of von Neumann algebras. We further provide a characterization of…

We introduce generalised triple homomorphism between Jordan Banach triple systems as a concept which extends the notion of generalised homomorphism between Banach algebras given by Jarosz and Johnson in 1985 and 1987, respectively. We prove…

Let $M$ and $N$ be unital Jordan-Banach algebras, and let $M^{-1}$ and $N^{-1}$ denote the sets of invertible elements in $M$ and $N$, respectively. Suppose that $\mathfrak{M}\subseteq M^{-1}$ and $\mathfrak{N}\subseteq N^{-1}$ are clopen…
