let $mathcal {a} $ and $mathcal {b} $ be c$^*$-algebras. assume that $mathcal {a}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $i$ and $k>0$ is a real number. it is shown that if $phi:mathcal{a} tomathcal{b}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $phi(|a|^k)=|phi(a)|^k $ for all normal elements $ainmathcal a$, $phi(i)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...

Let Φ be a trace-preserving, positivity-preserving linear map on the algebra of complex 2 × 2 matrices, and let Ω be any finite-dimensional completely positive map. For p = 2 and p ≥ 4, we prove that the maximal p-norm of the product map Φ⊗Ω is the product of the maximal p-norms of Φ and Ω. Restricting Φ to the class of completely positive maps, this settles the multiplicativity question for al...

It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...

Let X,Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and M,N be Banach algebras. Let θ : C0(X,M) → C0(Y,N ) be a zero-product preserving bounded linear map with dense range. We show that θ is given by a continuous field of algebra homomorphisms from M into N if N is irreducible. As corollaries, such a surjective θ arises from an algebra homomorphism, provided thatM is a W*-algebra and N is a semi-simple...

We propose a new approach to analyzing dynamical systems that combine hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic (“center”) behavior, e.g. partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. A number of applications illustrate its power. We find that any ergodic automorphism of the 4-torus with two eigenvalues in the unit circle is stably Bernoulli among symplectic maps. Indeed, any nearby symplectic map has no zero Lyap...

In this paper we investigate the Lipschitz equivalence of dust-like self-similar sets in Rd. One of the fundamental results by Falconer and Marsh [On the Lipschitz equivalence of Cantor sets, Mathematika, 39 (1992), 223– 233] establishes conditions for Lipschitz equivalence based on the algebraic properties of the contraction ratios of the self-similar sets. In this paper we extend the study by...

amonge other things we give sufficient and necessary conditions for the lau product of banachalgebras to be biflat or biprojective.

‎In this paper‎, ‎we characterize the class of orthogonality preserving operators on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ as scalar multiples of unitary operators between $H$ and some closed subspaces of $H$‎. ‎We show that any circle (centered at the origin) is the spectrum of an orthogonality preserving operator‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we prove that every compact normal operator is a strongly orthogo...

In 2003, Araujo and Jarosz showed that every bijective linear map θ : A → B between unital standard operator algebras preserving zero products in two ways is a scalar multiple of an inner automorphism. Later in 2007, Zhao and Hou showed that similar results hold if both A,B are unital standard algebras on Hilbert spaces and θ preserves range or domain orthogonality. In particular, such maps are...
