Maps on Positive Cones of C^(*)-algebras

We prove that a surjective map(on the positive cones of unital C^(*)-algebras)preserves the minimum spectrum values of harmonic means if and only if it has a Jordan *-isomorphism extension to the whole algebra.We represent weighted geometric mean preserving bijective maps on the positive cones of prime C^(*)-algebras in terms of Jordan *-isomorphisms of the algebras.We also characterize order isomorphisms and orthoisomorphisms of the projection lattice of the von Neumann algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space,answering an open question arisen by Dye.Finally,we give a description for Fuglede-Kadison determinant preserving maps on the positive cone of a finite von Neumann algebra and improve Gaal and Nayak’s work on this topic.

MAPS PRESERVING THE NORM OF THE POSITIVE SUM IN L_(p) SPACES

For 1<p<∞,let S(Lp)+be the set of positive elements in L_(p) with norm one.Assume that V_(0):S(L_(p)(Ω_(1)))+→S(L_(p)(Ω_(2)))+is a surjective norm-additive map;that is,‖V_(0)(x)+V_(0)(y)‖=‖x+y‖,■x,y∈S(L_(p)(Ω_(1)))+.In this paper,we show that V_(0) can be extended to an isometry from L_(p)(Ω_(1))onto L_(p)(Ω_(2)).

Fundamental Locally Solid Riesz Spaces

In this paper we focus ourselves on the positive cone of the locally solid Riesz spaces to characterize the fundamentality. From one example the article indicates that the fundamentality of the locally solid Riesz space is independent from the Lebesgue property.

On Maps Preserving Unitarily Invariant Norms of the Spectral Geometric Mean

We consider maps on positive definite cones of von Neumann algebras preserving unitarily invariant norms of the spectral geometric means. The main results concern Jordan *-isomorphisms between C*-algebras, and show that they are characterized by the preservation of unitarily invariant norms of those operations.

Linear operators and positive semidefiniteness of symmetric tensor spaces

We study symmetric tensor spaces and cones arising from polynomial optimization and physical sciences.We prove a decomposition invariance theorem for linear operators over the symmetric tensor space,which leads to several other interesting properties in symmetric tensor spaces.We then consider the positive semidefiniteness of linear operators which deduces the convexity of the Frobenius norm function of a symmetric tensor.Furthermore,we characterize the symmetric positive semidefinite tensor(SDT)cone by employing the properties of linear operators,design some face structures of its dual cone,and analyze its relationship to many other tensor cones.In particular,we show that the cone is self-dual if and only if the polynomial is quadratic,give specific characterizations of tensors that are in the primal cone but not in the dual for higher order cases,and develop a complete relationship map among the tensor cones appeared in the literature.
