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…

The Seiberg-Witten map links noncommutative gauge theories to ordinary gauge theories, and allows to express the noncommutative variables in terms of the commutative ones. Its explicit form can be found order by order in the noncommutative…

A classical theorem of Jordan asserts that if a group $G$ acts transitively on a finite set of size at least $2$, then $G$ contains a derangement (a fixed-point free element). Generalisations of Jordan's theorem have been studied…

If f is a bijection from C^n onto a complex manifold M, which conjugates every holomorphic map in C^n to an endomorphism in M, then we prove that f is necessarily biholomorphic or antibiholomorphic. This extends a result of A. Hinkkanen to…

The dynamics of all quadratic Newton maps of rational functions are completely described. The Julia set of such a map is found to be either a Jordan curve or totally disconnected. It is proved that no Newton map with degree at least three…

Let $n\in \Bbb N,$ and let $A,B$ be two rings. An additive map $h: A\to B$ is called n-Jordan homomorphism if $h(a^n)=(h(a))^n$ for all $a \in {A}$. Every Jordan homomorphism is an n-Jordan homomorphism, for all $n\geq 2,$ but the converse…

We establish some Lie--Trotter formulae for unital complex Jordan--Banach algebras, showing that for each couple of elements $a,b$ in a unital complex Jordan--Banach algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ the identities $$ \lim_{n\to \infty}…

We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the $C^*$-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let $\phi:B(H)\to B(H)$ be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group acting on a stable complex manifold $M$ with equivariant vector bundle $E$. Besides, suppose $\phi$ is an equivariant map from $M$ to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We can define some equivalence…

We prove that every surjective unital linear mapping which preserves invertible elements from a Banach algebra onto a C*-algebra carrying a faithful tracial state is a Jordan homomorphism thus generalising Aupetit's 1998 result for finite…

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…

Let $\mathfrak{M}(\mathbb{D}, m, n, P)$ be the ring of all $m \times n$ matrices over a division ring $\mathbb{D}$, with the product given by $A \bullet B=A P B$, where $P$ is a fixed $n \times m$ matrix over $\mathbb{D}$. When $2\leq m, n…

In this note, we study the general form of a multiplicative bijection on several families of functions defined on manifolds, both real or complex valued. In the real case, we prove that it is essentially defined by a composition with a…

Let $\eta\neq -1$ be a non-zero complex number, and let $\phi$ be a not necessarily linear bijection between two von Neumann algebras, one of which has no central abelian projections preserving the Jordan $\eta$-$\ast$-$n$-product. It is…

Normality of bounded and unbounded adjointable operators are discussed. Suppose $T$ is an adjointable operator between Hilbert C*-modules which has polar decomposition, then $T$ is normal if and only if there exists a unitary operator $…

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra with a faithful normal finite trace $t$, and $H^\infty$ be a finite, maximal, subdiagonal of $M$. Fundamental theorems on conjugate functions for weak* Dirichlet algebras are shown to be a bounded linear map…

Let $A,B$ be C*-algebras, $B_A(0;r)$ the open ball in $A$ centered at $0$ with radius $r>0$, and $H:B_A(0;r)\to B$ an orthogonally additive holomorphic map. If $H$ is zero product preserving on positive elements in $B_A(0;r)$, we show, in…

We prove a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces.

Given a noncommutative Hamiltonian space $A$, we prove that the conjecture ``{\it quantization commutes with reduction}'' holds for $A$. We further construct a semidirect product algebra $A \rtimes \mG^A$, and establish a correspondence…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with a^2 in A for all a in A. In two recent papers by the authors and Neal, a theory for these spaces was developed. It was shown there that much of the theory…
