Additivity of Jordan multiplicative maps on Jordan operator algebras (Q2493609)

Let \(H\) be a complex Hilbert space with \(\dim(H)>1\) and let \(B(H)_{sa}\) denote the Jordan algebra of all self-adjoint bounded linear operators on \(H\). The paper under review is concerned with the bijective maps \(\Phi: B(H)_{sa}\rightarrow B(H)_{sa}\) which satisfy one of the following conditions: (i) \(\Phi(ABA)=\Phi(A)\Phi(B)\Phi(A)\); (ii) \(\Phi(1/2(AB+BA))=1/2(\Phi(A)\Phi(B)+\Phi(B)\Phi(A))\); (iii) \(\Phi(AB+BA)=\Phi(A)\Phi(B)+\Phi(B)\Phi(A)\); for all \(A,B\in B(H)_{sa}\). The authors show that \(\Phi\) is necessarily of the form \(\Phi(A)=\varepsilon UAU^*\) for some unitary or conjugate unitary operator \(U\) and \(\varepsilon=\pm 1\) in the first case and \(\varepsilon=1\) in the remaining cases.
