Foliation-Preserving Maps Between Solvmanifolds

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 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...

On strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps

In this paper, we give a characterization of strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps on normed algebras as a generalization of  Jordan zero-product preserving maps. In this direction, we give some illustrative examples to show that the notions of strongly zero-product preserving maps and strongly Jordan zero-product preserving maps are completely different. Also, we prove that the direct p...

Transversality and Lefschetz Numbers for Foliation Maps

Let F be a smooth foliation on a closed Riemannian manifold M , and let Λ be a transverse invariant measure of F . Suppose that Λ is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure on smooth transversals. Then a topological definition of the Λ-Lefschetz number of any leaf preserving diffeomorphism (M,F) → (M,F) is given. For this purpose, standard results about smooth approximation a...
