Invertibility preserving linear mappings into M2(C)

On Invertibility Preserving Linear Mappings, Simultaneous Triangularization and Property L

1. Introduction. The investigation leading to this publication was motivated by a desire to try to understand the structure of a linear unital mapping ϕ from a unital algebra A of matrices contained in M h (C) into M n (C) which has the property that an invertible element in A is mapped into an invertible in M n (C). The interest in this question was raised by some earlier results on a linear i...

Invertibility Preserving Linear Maps of Banach Algebras

This talk discusses a conjecture of R. V. Kadison and myself. Our conjecture is that each one-to-one linear map of one unital C*-algebra onto another that preserves the identity is a Jordan isomorphism if it maps the invertible elements of the first C*-algebra onto the invertible elements of the other C*-algebra. Connections are shown between this conjecture and Cartan’s uniqueness theorem. 1. ...

On Invertibility of Sobolev Mappings

We prove local and global invertibility of Sobolev solutions of certain differential inclusions which prevent the differential matrix from having negative eigenvalues. Our results are new even for quasiregular mappings in two dimensions.
