Generalizations of spectrally multiplicative surjections between uniform algebras (Q708759): Difference between revisions

Let \(A\) be a Banach algebra. A map \(S:A\to A\) satisfies the spectrally multiplicative condition if \(\sigma(S(x)S(y))=\sigma(xy)\) for all \(x,y\) in \(A\). A result due to Molnár says that if a surjection \(S:C(X)\to C(X)\) is spectrally multiplicative, then it is an isometric algebra automorphisms. Adding to already existing ones, the authors obtain several further generalizations of this result. They are too technical to be shortly described, but they are of interest to a specialist in the field.
