Abstract

Let AA and BB be unital rings. An additive map T:ABT:A\to B is called a weighted Jordan homomorphism if c=T(1)c=T(1) is an invertible central element and cT(x2)=T(x)2cT(x^2) = T(x)^2 for all xAx\in A. We provide assumptions, which are in particular fulfilled when A=B=Mn(R)A=B=M_n(R) with n2n\ge 2 and RR any unital ring with 12\frac{1}{2}, under which every surjective additive map T:ABT:A\to B with the property that T(x)T(y)+T(y)T(x)=0T(x)T(y)+T(y)T(x)=0 whenever xy=yx=0xy=yx=0 is a weighted Jordan homomorphism. Further, we show that if AA is a prime ring with char(A)2,3,5(A)\ne 2,3,5, then a bijective additive map T:AAT:A\to A is a weighted Jordan homomorphism provided that there exists an additive map S:AAS:A\to A such that S(x2)=T(x)2S(x^2)=T(x)^2 for all xAx\in A.
