Connections between centrality and local monotonicity of certain functions on C^-algebras

Abstract: We introduce a quite large class of functions (including the exponential function and the power functions with exponent greater than one), and show that for any element f of this function class, a self-adjoint element a of a C-algebra is central if and only if aleqb implies f(a)leqf(b). That is, we characterize centrality by local monotonicity of certain functions on C-algebras. Numerous former results (including works of Ogasawara, Pedersen, Wu, and Moln'ar) are apparent consequences of our result.
