Abstract: A well-known theorem of Korovkin asserts that if $T_k$ is a sequence of positive linear transformations on $C[a,b]$ such that $T_k(h)ightarrowh$ (in the sup-norm on $C[a,b]$) for all $hin1,phi,ph{i}^2$, where $phi(t)=t$ on $[a,b]$, then $T_k(h)ightarrowh$ for all $hinC[a,b]$. In particular, if $T$ is a positive linear transformation on $C[a,b]$ such that $T(h)=h$ for all $hin1,phi,ph{i}^2$, then $T$ is the Identity transformation. In this paper, we present some analogs of these results over Euclidean Jordan algebras. We show that if $T$ is a positive linear transformation on a Euclidean Jordan algebra $V$ such that $T(h)=h$ for all $hine,p,p^2$, where $e$ is the unit element in $V$ and $p$ is an element of $V$ with distinct eigenvalues, then $T=T^{*}=I$ (the Identity transformation) on the span of the Jordan frame corresponding to the spectral decomposition of $p$; consequently, if a positive linear transformation coincides with the Identity transformation on a Jordan frame, then it is doubly stochastic. We also present sequential and weak-majorization versions.
