Lie isomorphisms of reflexive algebras (Q860775)

Let \(\mathcal A\) be an associative algebra. Then \(\mathcal A\) becomes a Lie algebra under the Lie product \([A,B]=AB-BA\). A Lie isomorphism \(\Phi\) of \(\mathcal A\) into another associative algebra \(\mathcal B\) is a linear bijective map which preserves the Lie product. A Lie isomorphism \(\phi:{\mathcal A}\mapsto {\mathcal B}\) is called trivial if \(\phi=\psi+\tau\), where \(\psi\) is an isomorphism or a negative of an anti-isomorphism from \(\mathcal A\) into \(\mathcal B\) and \(\tau\) is a linear map from \(\mathcal A\) into the center of \(\mathcal B\), sending commutator to zero. In the paper under review, the author investigates the conditions for the triviality of Lie isomorphisms from reflexive algebras with completely distributive and commutative lattices (CDCSL). In particular, the author proves that a Lie isomorphism between irreducible CDCSL algebras is trivial if and only if it preserves \(I\)-idempotent operators (the sum of an idempotent and a scalar multiple of identity) in both directions. Some examples of Lie isomorphisms are presented to show the sharpness of the conditions.
