Local spectral radius preservers (Q1956200)

Let \(X\) be an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space and \(\mathcal B(X)\) the space of all bounded operators on \(X\). The authors show that, if \(\varphi\) is a surjective map on \(\mathcal B(X)\) such that \(\mathrm r_{T-S}(x)=0\) if and only if \(\mathrm r_{\varphi(T)-\varphi(S)}(x)=0\) for every \(x\in X\) and \(S,T\in\mathcal B(X)\), then there exist a nonzero scalar \(c\in \mathbb C\) and \(A\in \mathcal B(X)\) such that \(\varphi(T)=cT+A\) for all \(T\in \mathcal B(X)\).
