    Let \(X\) and \(Y\) be complex Banach spaces and let \(\phi:B(X)\to B(Y)\) be a bijective map satisfying \(\phi([A,B]) = [\phi(A),\phi(B)]\) for all \(A,B\in B(X)\). If \(\phi\) were additive, then \(\phi\) would be a Lie isomorphism (in the ring-theoretic sense) and its structure would be well-known. But the authors do not assume the additivity. Their main result shows, however, that the description is basically the same as for Lie isomorphisms. That is, \(\phi=\psi +\tau\), where \(\psi\) is a ring isomorphism or the negative of a ring antiisomorphism from \(B(X)\) onto \(B(Y)\), and \(\tau\) is a map from \(B(X)\) into \(\mathbb{C}\)\(I\) that vanishes on commutators.
