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 characterize the left Jordan derivations on Banach algebras. Also, it is shown that every bounded linear map $d:mathcal Ato mathcal M$ from a von Neumann algebra $mathcal A$ into a Banach $mathcal A-$module $mathcal M$ with property that $d(p^2)=2pd(p)$ for every projection $p$ in $mathcal A$ is a left Jordan derivation.

Let $mathcal{A}$ and $mathcal{B}$ be two $C^{*}$-algebras such that $mathcal{B}$ is prime. In this paper, we investigate the additivity of maps $Phi$ from $mathcal{A}$ onto $mathcal{B}$ that are bijective, unital and satisfy $Phi(AP+eta PA^{*})=Phi(A)Phi(P)+eta Phi(P)Phi(A)^{*},$ for all $Ainmathcal{A}$ and $Pin{P_{1},I_{mathcal{A}}-P_{1}}$ where $P_{1}$ is a nontrivial projection in $mathcal{A...

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.

We investigate the effect of structure-preserving perturbations on the solution to a linear system, matrix inversion, and distance to singularity. Particular attention is paid to linear and nonlinear structures that form Lie algebras, Jordan algebras and automorphism groups of a scalar product. These include complex symmetric, pseudo-symmetric, persymmetric, skewsymmetric, Hamiltonian, unitary,...

Norm preserver maps of Jordan product on the algebra Mn of n×n complex matrices are studied, with respect to various norms. A description of such surjective maps with respect to the Frobenius norm is obtained: Up to a suitable scaling and unitary similarity, they are given by one of the four standard maps (identity, transposition, complex conjugation, and conjugate transposition) on Mn, except ...

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...
