Mathieu and Ruddy proved that if be a unital spectral isometry from a unital C*-algebra Aonto a unital type I C*-algebra B whose primitive ideal space is Hausdorff and totallydisconnected, then is Jordan isomorphism. The aim of this note is to show that if be asurjective spectrum preserving additive map, then is a Jordan isomorphism without the extraassumption totally disconnected.

The central topic of this work is the categories of modules over unital quantales. The main categorical properties are established and a special class of operators, called Qmodule transforms, is defined. Such operators — that turn out to be precisely the homomorphisms between free objects in those categories — find concrete applications in two different branches of image processing, namely fuzz...

Let A be a unital AH-algebra and let α ∈ Aut(A) be an automorphism. A necessary condition for A ⋊α Z being embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra is the existence of a faithful tracial state. If in addition, there is an automorphism κ with κ∗1 = −idK1(A) such that α ◦ κ and κ ◦ α are asymptotically unitarily equivalent, then A⋊α Z can be embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra. Consequently,...

Parallel to the first two authors’ earlier classification of separable unital oneparameter continuous fields of Kirchberg algebras with torsion free K-groups supported in one dimension, one-parameter separable unital continuous fields of AF-algebras are classified by their ordered K0-sheaves. We prove Effros-Handelman-Shen type theorems for separable unital one-parameter continuous fields of AF...

We show that if T is an isometry (as metric spaces) between the invertible groups of unital Banach algebras, then T is extended to a surjective real-linear isometry up to translation between the two Banach algebras. Furthermore if the underling algebras are closed unital standard operator algebras, (T (eA)) −1 T is extended to a surjective real algebra isomorphism; if T is a surjective isometry...

In a recent paper [7], J. W. Pelletier and J. Rosický published a characterization of *-simple *-quantales. Their results were adapted for the case of simple quantales by J. Paseka in [5]. In this paper we present similar characterizations which do not use a notion of discrete quantale. We also show a completely new characterization based on separating and cyclic sets. Further we explain a link...

Let A,B be two unital C∗−algebras. We prove that every almost unital almost linear mapping h : A −→ B which satisfies h(3uy + 3yu) = h(3u)h(y) + h(y)h(3u) for all u ∈ U(A), all y ∈ A, and all n = 0, 1, 2, ..., is a Jordan homomorphism. Also, for a unital C∗−algebra A of real rank zero, every almost unital almost linear continuous mapping h : A −→ B is a Jordan homomorphism when h(3uy + 3yu) = h...

In this paper, the category of L-FINT is topological category over Set. We investigate the functorial relations between L-FTOP and LFINT where L is a strictly two-sided, commutative quantale lattice. Mathematics Subject Classification: 03E72, 54A40, 54B10
