Let H be a complex Hilbert space and denote by Bs(H) the set of all self-adjoint bounded linear operators on H. In this paper we describe the form of all bijective maps (no linearity or continuity is assumed) on Bs(H) which preserve the…

In this paper we study a new class of transformations on the set of all Hilbert space effects. This consists of the bijective maps which preserve the order and zero product in both directions. The main result of the paper gives a complete…

In this paper we determine all the bijective linear maps on the space of bounded observables which preserve a fixed moment or the variance. Nonlinear versions of the corresponding results are also presented.

Let $\mathcal H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal F_s (\mathcal H)$ the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank bounded operators on $\mathcal H$. We generalize the famous Wigner's theorem by characterizing linear maps on…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We provide an explicit geometrically motivated $1$-Lipschitz map from the space of persistence diagrams on $n$ points (equipped with the Bottleneck distance) into the Hilbert space $\ell^2$. Such maps are a…

We prove that any bijective fidelity preserving transformation on the set of all density operators on a Hilbert space is implemented by an either unitary or antiunitary operator on the underlying Hilbert space.

Given an (anisotropic) Hermitian space $H$, the collection $P(H)$ of at most one-dimensional subspaces of $H$, equipped with the orthogonal relation $\perp$ and the zero linear subspace $\{0\}$, is a linear orthoset and up to…

The contribution of this work is twofold. The first part deals with a Hilbert-space version of McCann's celebrated result on the existence and uniqueness of monotone measure-preserving maps: given two probability measures $\rm P$ and $\rm…

Extending Wigner's theorem we give a characterization of positive maps of $B(H)$ into itself which map the set of rank k projections onto itself.

Moser's Bernstein theorem \cite{moser61} says that an entire minimal graph of codimension 1 with bounded slope must be a hyperplane. An analogous result for arbitrary codimension is not true, by an example of Lawson-Osserman. Here, we show…

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal G}_{k}(H)$ be the Grassmannian formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of $H$. Suppose that $\dim H>2k$ and $f$ is an orthogonality preserving injective transformation of ${\mathcal…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ be the set of all closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We investigate (not necessarily surjective)…

Wigner's Theorem states that bijections of the set P_1(H) of one-dimensional projections on a Hilbert space H that preserve transition probabilities are induced by either a unitary or an anti-unitary operator on H (which is uniquely…

In quantum theory, symmetry has to be defined necessarily in terms of the family of unit rays, the state space. The theorem of Wigner asserts that a symmetry so defined at the level of rays can always be lifted into a linear unitary or an…

We consider an extension of the conventional quantum Heisenberg algebra, assuming that coordinates as well as momenta fulfil nontrivial commutation relations. As a consequence, a minimal length and a minimal mass scale are implemented. Our…
