Abstract

We present the following reflexivity-like result concerning the automorphism group of the CC^*-algebra B(H), H being a separable Hilbert space. Let ϕ:B(H)B(H)\phi:B(H)\to B(H) be a multiplicative map (no linearity or continuity is assumed) which can be approximated at every point by automorphisms of B(H) (these automorphisms may, of course, depend on the point) in the operator norm. Then ϕ\phi is an automorphism of the algebra B(H).
