Orthogonally additive and orthogonality preserving holomorphic mappings between \(C^\ast\)-algebras (Q2015522)

Summary: We study holomorphic maps between \(C^\ast\)-algebras \(A\) and \(B\), when \(f:B_A(0,\varrho)\to B\) is a holomorphic mapping whose Taylor series at zero is uniformly converging in some open unit ball \(U=B_A(0,\delta)\). If we assume that \(f\) is orthogonality preserving and orthogonally additive on \(A_{sa}\cap U\) and \(f(U)\) contains an invertible element in \(B\), then there exist a sequence \((h_n)\) in \(B^{\ast\ast}\) and Jordan \(^\ast\)-homomorphisms \(\Theta,\widetilde{\Theta}:M(A)\to B^{\ast\ast}\) such that \(f(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=1}h_n\widetilde{\Theta}(a^n)=\sum^\infty_{n=1}\Theta(a^n)h_n\) uniformly in \(a\in U\). When \(B\) is abelian, the hypothesis of \(B\) being unital and \(f(U)\cap\mathrm{inv}(B)\neq\emptyset\) can be relaxed to get the same statement.
