Let $mathcal {A} $ and $mathcal {B} $ be C$^*$-algebras. Assume that $mathcal {A}$ is of real rank zero and unital with unit $I$ and $k>0$ is a real number. It is shown that if $Phi:mathcal{A} tomathcal{B}$ is an additive map preserving $|cdot|^k$ for all normal elements; that is, $Phi(|A|^k)=|Phi(A)|^k $ for all normal elements $Ainmathcal A$, $Phi(I)$ is a projection, and there exists a posit...
