We prove that every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two atomic JBW$^*$-triples $E$ and $B$ admits a unit extension to a surjective real linear isometry from $E$ into $B$. This result constitutes a new positive answer to…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ be JBW$^*$-algebras whose sets of unitaries are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ and $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{B})$, respectively. We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ is closed for Jordan…

In this note we present two new positive answers to Tingley's problem in certain subspaces of function algebras. In the first result we prove that every surjective isometry between the unit spheres, $S(A)$ and $S(B)$, of two uniformly…

Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$, let $S(A^+)$ denote the set of those positive elements in the unit sphere of $A$. Let $H_1$, $H_2,$ $H_3$ and $H_4$ be complex Hilbert spaces, where $H_3$ and $H_4$ are infinite-dimensional and separable. In this…

Let $f: S(E) \to S(B)$ be a surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two weakly compact JB$^*$-triples not containing direct summands of rank smaller than or equal to 3. Suppose $E$ has rank greater than or equal to 5. Applying…

Let $\mathfrak{M}$ and $\mathfrak{J}$ be JBW$^*$-algebras admitting no central summands of type $I_1$ and $I_2,$ and let $\Phi: \mathfrak{M} \rightarrow \mathfrak{J}$ be a linear bijection preserving operator commutativity in both…

We characterize projections among positive norm-one elements in unital C$^*$-algebras in pure geometric terms determined by the norm of the underlying Banach space. Concretely, let $A$ be a C$^*$-algebra (or a JB$^*$-algebra) whose positive…

We investigate surjective isometries between projection lattices of two von Neumann algebras. We show that such a mapping is characterized by means of Jordan $^*$-isomorphisms. In particular, we prove that two von Neumann algebras without…

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 extend the existing results on surjective isometries of unit spheres in the Tsirelson space $T\left[\frac{1}{2}, S_1\right]$ to the class $T[\theta,S_{\alpha}]$ for any integer $\theta^{-1} \geq 2$ and $1 \leqslant \alpha < \omega_1$,…

We prove that every JBW$^*$-triple $M$ with rank one or rank bigger than or equal to three satisfies the Mazur--Ulam property, that is, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of $M$ onto the unit sphere of another Banach space $Y$…

We show that any order isomorphism between ordered structures of associative unital JB-subalgebras of JBW algebras is implemented naturally by a Jordan isomorphism. Consequently, JBW algebras are determined by the structure of their…

In this note we collect some significant contributions on metric invariants for complex Banach algebras and Jordan--Banach algebras established during the last fifteen years. This note is mainly expository, but it also contains complete…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be two factor von Neumann algebras and $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number. A nonlinear bijective map $\phi:\mathcal A\rightarrow\mathcal B$ has been demonstrated to satisfy…

Every atomic JBW-algebra is known to be a direct sum of JBW-algebra factors of type I. Extending Kadison's anti-lattice theorem, we show that each of these factors is a disjointness free anti-lattice. We characterise disjointness, bands,…

Let T be be a zero-product preserving bounded linear map between C*-algebras A and B. Here neither A nor B is necessarily unital. In this note, we investigate when T gives rise to a Jordan homomorphism. In particular, we show that A and B…

We study holomorphic maps between C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$. When $f:B_A (0,\varrho) \longrightarrow B$ is a holomorphic mapping whose Taylor series at zero is uniformly converging in some open unit ball $U=B_{A}(0,\delta)$ and we assume…

We study maps between positive definite or positive semidefinite cones of unital $C^*$-algebras. We describe surjective maps that preserve (1) the norm of the quotient or multiplication of elements; (2) the spectrum of the quotient or…

We prove that a surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two uniform algebras is extended to a surjective real-linear isometry between the uniform algebras. It provides the first positive solution for Tingley's problem on a Banach…

Tingley's problem asks whether every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two Banach spaces admits an extension to a real linear surjective isometry between the whole spaces. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to…
