review text: The main goal of the paper is the study of those transformations between the pure state spaces of two C*-algebras which in a canonical way correspond to linear mappings on the underlying algebras. Following the notation on the paper, for each pure state \(\omega\), \([\omega]\) will stand for the class of all other pure states which are unitarily equivalent to \(\omega\). A transformation \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) between the pure state spaces of two C*-algebras \(A\) and \(B\) is called \textit{fibre-preserving} if for each pure state \(\omega\) we have \(\varphi^{\sharp} ([\omega]) \subset [\varphi^{\sharp} (\omega)]\). We shall say that a property holds locally for \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) if it holds for the restriction of \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) to each equivalence class \([\omega]\). Finally, \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) \textit{has a locally solid range} if \(\varphi^{\sharp} ([\omega]) = \varphi^{\sharp} ([\omega])^{\perp \perp}\), where for each subset \(V\) of the pure state space, \(V^{\perp}\) denotes the set of all pure states which are orthogonal to each element in \(V\). The author establishes the following characterisation which could be regarded as a non-commu\-tative version of the Banach--Stone theorem: Let \(\varphi^{\sharp}: \mathcal{P}_{B} \to\mathcal{P}_{A}\) be a transformation between the pure state spaces of two C*-algebras \(B\) and \(A\). Suppose that no irreducible representation of \(B\) is of the form \(M_2 (\mathbb{C})\), then there is a linear map \(\varphi : A\to B\) whose adjoint is \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) (i.e., \(\varphi^{\sharp} (\omega) = \omega\varphi)\) if and only if \(\varphi^{\sharp}\) is uniformly \(\sigma(B^*,B)-\sigma(A^*,A)\) continuous, locally bi-orthogonal and has a locally solid range. The case in which \(\varphi\) is a Jordan *-isomorphism is also discussed. The paper generalises the work of \textit{F.~W.\ Shultz} [Commun.\ Math.\ Phys.\ 82, 497--509 (1982; Zbl 0488.46050)] where only the case of bijections is studied. One of the main t…
