Linear Orthogonality Preservers of Standard Operator Algebras

Linear disjointness preservers of W*-algebras

In this paper, we give a complete description of the structure of zero product and orthogonality preserving linear maps between W*-algebras. In particular, two W*-algebras are *-isomorphic if and only if there is a bijective linear map between them preserving their zero product or orthogonality structure in two directions. It is also the case when they have equivalent linear and left (right) id...

The witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and its preservers

One of unsolved problems in quantum measurement theory is to characterize coexistence of quantum effects. In this paper, applying positive operator matrix theory, we give a mathematical characterization of the witness set of coexistence of quantum effects and obtain a series of properties of coexistence. We also devote to characterizing bijective morphisms on quantum effects leaving the witness...

Linear Orthogonality Preservers of Hilbert C∗-modules over C∗-algebras with Real Rank Zero

Let A be a C∗-algebra. Let E and F be Hilbert A-modules with E being full. Suppose that θ : E → F is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., 〈θ(x), θ(y)〉 = 0 whenever 〈x, y〉 = 0. We show in this article that if, in addition, A has real rank zero, and θ is an A-module map (not assumed to be bounded), then there exists a central positive multiplier u ∈M(A) such that 〈θ(x), θ(y)〉 = u〈x, y〉 (x...

Linear Preservers of Majorization

For vectors $X, Yin mathbb{R}^{n}$, we say $X$ is left matrix majorized by $Y$ and write $X prec_{ell} Y$ if for some row stochastic matrix $R, ~X=RY.$ Also, we write $Xsim_{ell}Y,$ when $Xprec_{ell}Yprec_{ell}X.$ A linear operator $Tcolon mathbb{R}^{p}to mathbb{R}^{n}$ is said to be a linear preserver of a given relation $prec$ if $Xprec Y$ on $mathbb{R}^{p}$ implies that $TXprec TY$ on $mathb...
