Let H and K be complex complete indefinite inner product spaces, and ℬ(H,K) (ℬ(H) if K = H) the set of all bounded linear operators from H into K. For every T ∈ ℬ(H,K), denote by $T^{†}$ the indefinite conjugate of T. Suppose that Φ: ℬ(H) → ℬ(K) is a bijective linear map. We prove that Φ satisfies $\Phi \left(A\right)\Phi \left(B\right)=\Phi \left(B\right)\Phi {\left(A\right)}^{†}$ for all A, B ∈ ℬ(H) with $AB=B{A}^{†}$ if and only if there exist a nonzero real number c and a generalized indefinite unitary operator U ∈ ℬ(H,K) such that $\Phi \left(A\right)=cUA{U}^{†}$ for all A ∈ ℬ(H).

Let H be an infinite-dimensional separable complex Hilbert space and B(H) the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. For an operator T in B(H), let σg(T) denote the generalized spectrum of T. In this paper, we prove that if φ: B(H) → B(H) is a surjective linear map, then φ preserves the generalized spectrum (i.e. σg(φ(T)) = σg(T) for every T ∈ B(H)) if and only if there is A ∈ B(H) invertible such that either φ(T) = ATA-1 for every T ∈ B(H), or φ(T) = ATtrA-1 for every T ∈ B(H). Also, we...
