Linear Maps Preserving the Set of Semi-Weyl Operators

Linear maps preserving or strongly preserving majorization on matrices

For $A,Bin M_{nm},$ we say that $A$ is left matrix majorized (resp. left matrix submajorized) by $B$ and write $Aprec_{ell}B$ (resp. $Aprec_{ell s}B$), if $A=RB$ for some $ntimes n$ row stochastic (resp. row substochastic) matrix $R.$ Moreover, we define the relation $sim_{ell s} $ on $M_{nm}$ as follows: $Asim_{ell s} B$ if $Aprec_{ell s} Bprec_{ell s} A.$ This paper characterizes all linear p...

Spectrum Preserving Linear Maps Between Banach Algebras

In this paper we show that if A is a unital Banach algebra and B is a purely innite C*-algebra such that has a non-zero commutative maximal ideal and $phi:A rightarrow B$ is a unital surjective spectrum preserving linear map. Then $phi$ is a Jordan homomorphism.

Linear maps preserving the idempotency of Jordan products of operators

Let B(X ) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Banach space X and let I(X ) be the set of non-zero idempotent operators in B(X ). A surjective map φ : B(X ) → B(X ) preserves nonzero idempotency of the Jordan products of two operators if for every pair A, B ∈ B(X ), the relation AB +BA ∈ I(X ) implies φ(A)φ(B)+φ(B)φ(A) ∈ I(X ). In this paper, the structures of linear surj...

On Linear Operators Preserving the Set of Positive Polynomials

Following the classical approach of Pólya-Schur theory [14] we initiate in this paper the study of linear operators acting on R[x] and preserving either the set of positive univariate polynomials or similar sets of non-negative and elliptic polynomials.
