Maps preserving the Douglas solution of operator equations

Abstract

We consider bijective maps ϕ\phi on the full operator algebra B(H)\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}) of an infinite dimensional Hilbert space with the property that, for every A,B,XB(H)A,B,X\in \mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H}), XX is the Douglas solution of the equation A=BXA=BX if and only if Y=ϕ(X)Y=\phi(X) is the Douglas solution of the equation ϕ(A)=ϕ(B)Y\phi(A)=\phi(B)Y. We prove that those maps are implemented by a unitary or anti-unitary map UU, i.e., ϕ(A)=UAU\phi(A)=UAU^*.
