Suppose that A is a C^*-algebra. We consider the class of A-linear mappins between two inner product A-modules such that for each two orthogonal vectors in the domain space their values are orthogonal in the target space. In this paper, we intend to determine A-linear mappings that preserve orthogonality. For this purpose, suppose that E and F are two inner product A-modules and A+ is the set o...

For an arbitrary subset I of IR and for a function f defined on I, the number of zeros of f on I will be denoted by ZI(f) . In this paper we attempt to characterize all linear transformations T taking a linear subspace W of C(I) into functions defined on J (I, J ⊆ IR) such that ZI(f) = ZJ (Tf) for all f ∈ W .

in this paper,  we introduce  the notion of $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces, and discuss the relationship between $m$-fuzzifying interval spaces and $m$-fuzzifying convex structures.it is proved that  the category  {bf mycsa2}  can be embedded in  the category  {bf  myis}  as a reflective subcategory, where  {bf mycsa2} and   {bf  myis} denote  the category of $m$-fuzzifying convex structures of...

We introduce implicit zero-knowledge arguments (iZK) and simulation-sound variants thereof (SSiZK); these are lightweight alternatives to zero-knowledge arguments for enforcing semi-honest behavior. Our main technical contribution is a construction of efficient two-flow iZK and SSiZK protocols for a large class of languages under the (plain) DDH assumption in cyclic groups in the common referen...

A mapping f : M → N between Hilbert C∗-modules approximately preserves the inner product if ‖〈f(x), f(y)〉 − 〈x, y〉‖ ≤ φ(x, y), for an appropriate control function φ(x, y) and all x, y ∈ M. In this paper, we extend some results concerning the stability of the orthogonality equation to the framework of Hilbert C∗modules on more general restricted domains. In particular, we investigate some asympt...

In this paper, we try to attack a conjecture of Araujo and Jarosz that every bijective linear map θ between C*-algebras, with both θ and its inverse θ−1 preserving zero products, arises from an algebra isomorphism followed by a central multiplier. We show it is true for CCR C*-algebras with Hausdorff spectrum, and in general, some special C*-algebras associated to continuous fields of C*-algebras.
