Linear maps preserving products equal to primitive idempotents of an incidence algebra

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.

On Preserving Properties of Linear Maps on $C^{*}$-algebras

Let $A$ and $B$ be two unital $C^{*}$-algebras and $varphi:A rightarrow B$ be a linear map. In this paper, we investigate the structure of linear maps between two $C^{*}$-algebras that preserve a certain property or relation. In particular, we show that if $varphi$ is unital, $B$ is commutative and $V(varphi(a)^{*}varphi(b))subseteq V(a^{*}b)$ for all $a,bin A$, then $varphi$ is a $*$-homomorph...

Distance-regular graphs, pseudo primitive idempotents, and the Terwilliger algebra

Let Γ denote a distance-regular graph with diameter D ≥ 3, intersection numbers ai, bi, ci and Bose-Mesner algebra M. For θ ∈ C ∪∞ we define a 1 dimensional subspace of M which we call M(θ). If θ ∈ C then M(θ) consists of those Y in M such that (A−θI)Y ∈ CAD, where A (resp. AD) is the adjacency matrix (resp. Dth distance matrix) of Γ. If θ = ∞ then M(θ) = CAD. By a pseudo primitive idempotent f...
