Let X, Y be realcompact spaces or completely regular spaces consisting of X, Y -points. Let X, Y be a linear bijective map from X, Y (resp. X, Y ) onto X, Y (resp. X, Y ). We show that if X, Y preserves nonvanishing functions, that is,
In this paper, we give a complete description of the structure of zero product and orthogonality preserving linear maps between W*-algebras. In particular, two W*-algebras are *-isomorphic if and only if there is a bijective linear map between them preserving their zero product or orthogonality structure in two directions. It is also the case when they have equivalent linear and left (right) ideal structures.
In this paper, we introduce a broad class of nonlinear mappings in a Hilbert space which covers nonexpansive mappings, nonspreading mappings, hybrid mappings and contractive mappings. Then we prove fixed point theorems for the class of such mappings. Using these results, we prove well-known and new fixed point theorems in a Hilbert space.
