Mappings on some reflexive algebras characterized by action on zero products or Jordan zero products
Let 𝓛 be a subspace lattice on a Banach space X and let δ: Alg𝓛 → B(X) be a linear mapping. If ⋁ {L ∈ 𝓛 : L₋ ⊉ L}= X or ⋁ {L₋ : L ∈ 𝓛, L₋ ⊉ L} = (0), we show that the following three conditions are equivalent: (1) δ(AB) = δ(A)B + Aδ(B) whenever AB = 0; (2) δ(AB + BA) = δ(A)B + Aδ(B) + δ(B)A + Bδ(A) whenever AB + BA = 0; (3) δ is a generalized derivation and δ(I) ∈ (Alg𝓛)'. If ⋁ {L ∈ 𝓛 : L₋ ⊉ L} = X or ⋁ {L₋ : L ∈ 𝓛, L₋ ⊉ L} = (0) and δ satisfies δ(AB + BA) = δ(A)B + Aδ(B) + δ(B)A + Bδ(A)...
Mappings preserving zero products
Let θ : ℳ → 𝓝 be a zero-product preserving linear map between algebras. We show that under some mild conditions θ is a product of a central element and an algebra homomorphism. Our result applies to matrix algebras, standard operator algebras, C*-algebras and W*-algebras.
Maps between Banach function algebras satisfying certain norm conditions
Let A and B be Banach function algebras on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y, respectively, and let and be their uniform closures. Let I, I′ be arbitrary non-empty sets, α ∈ ℂ{0, ρ: I → A, τ: l′ → a and S: I → B T: l′ → B be maps such that ρ(I, τ(I′) and S(I), T(I′) are closed under multiplications and contain exp A and expB, respectively. We show that if ‖S(p)T(p′)−α‖Y=‖ρ(p)τ(p′) − α‖x for all p ∈ I and p′ ∈ I′, then there exist a real algebra isomorphism S: A → B, a clopen subset K of M B and...
Maps on idempotent operators
The set of all bounded linear idempotent operators on a Banach space X is a poset with the partial order defined by P ≤ Q if PQ = QP = P. Another natural relation on the set of idempotent operators is the orthogonality relation defined by P ⊥ Q ⇔ PQ = QP = 0. We briefly survey known theorems on maps on idempotents preserving order or orthogonality. We discuss some related results and open problems. The connections with physics, geometry, theory of automorphisms, and linear preserver problems will...
Maps on idempotents
Let X be an infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space, B(X) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X, and P(X) ⊂ B(X) the subset of all idempotents. We characterize bijective maps on P(X) preserving commutativity in both directions. This unifies and extends the characterizations of two types of automorphisms of P(X), with respect to the orthogonality relation and with respect to the usual partial order; the latter have been previously characterized by Ovchinnikov. We also describe...
Maps on matrices that preserve the spectral radius distance
Let ϕ be a surjective map on the space of n×n complex matrices such that r(ϕ(A)-ϕ(B))=r(A-B) for all A,B, where r(X) is the spectral radius of X. We show that ϕ must be a composition of five types of maps: translation, multiplication by a scalar of modulus one, complex conjugation, taking transpose and (simultaneous) similarity. In particular, ϕ is real linear up to a translation.

Maps preserving convergence of series
Maps preserving numerical radius distance on C*-algebras
We characterize surjective nonlinear maps Φ between unital C*-algebras 𝒜 and ℬ that satisfy w(Φ(A)-Φ(B))) = w(A-B) for all A,B ∈ 𝒜 under a mild condition that Φ(I) - Φ(0) belongs to the center of ℬ, where w(A) is the numerical radius of A and I is the unit of 𝒜.
Maps preserving zero products
A linear map T from a Banach algebra A into another B preserves zero products if T(a)T(b) = 0 whenever a,b ∈ A are such that ab = 0. This paper is mainly concerned with the question of whether every continuous linear surjective map T: A → B that preserves zero products is a weighted homomorphism. We show that this is indeed the case for a large class of Banach algebras which includes group algebras. Our method involves continuous bilinear maps ϕ: A × A → X (for some Banach space X) with the property...
Marcinkiewicz multipliers of higher variation and summability of operator-valued Fourier series
Let , where, for 1 ≤ r < ∞, (resp., ) denotes the class of functions (resp., bounded functions) g: → ℂ such that g has bounded r-variation (resp., uniformly bounded r-variations) on (resp., on the dyadic arcs of ). In the author’s recent article [New York J. Math. 17 (2011)] it was shown that if is a super-reflexive space, and E(·): ℝ → () is the spectral decomposition of a trigonometrically well-bounded operator U ∈ (), then over a suitable non-void open interval of r-values, the condition...
Marcinkiewicz spaces, commutators and non-commutative geometry
Nigel J. Kalton was one of the most eminent guests participating in the Józef Marcinkiewicz Centenary Conference. His contribution to the scientific aspect of the meeting was very essential. Nigel was going to prepare a paper based on his plenary lecture. The editors are completely sure that the paper would be a real ornament of the Proceedings. Unfortunately, Nigel's sudden death totally destroyed editors' hopes and plans. Every mathematician knows how unique were Nigel's mathematical achievements....
