The preserver problem is one of important research fields of operator algebras. This paper studies the additive maps preserving zero triple Jordan products on a symmetric operator space and nonzero idempotency of Jordan products on B(X). Firstly, it is shown that an additive map φ on a symmetric operator space preserving zero triple Jordan products preserves rank one operators in both directions and so preserves adjacency in both directions. Consequently, there exist a nonzero scalar c and a linear or conjugate linear invertible operator A:Hâ†'H satisfying AAt=I and φ(T)=cAT At,(?)T∈(?)y(H). Next, we discuss an additive map on B(X) preserving nonzero idempotency of Jordan products. Let X be a complex Banach space and dim(χ)≥3, it is proved the additive map on B(X) preserving nonzero idempotency of Jordan products must be a Jordan isomorphism multiplied by a scalar. |
