Let H: Mm Mm be a holomorphic function of the algebra Mm of complex m m matrices. Suppose that H is orthogonally additive and orthogonally multiplicative on self-adjoint elements. We show that either the range of H consists of zero trace elements, or there is a scalar sequence {n} and an invertible S in Mm such that

Let A be a A -algebra with real rank zero. Let A and A be Hilbert A -modules with A being full. Suppose that A is a linear map preserving orthogonality, ie,

We prove that log n is an almost everywhere convergence Weyl multiplier for the orthonormal systems of non-overlapping Haar polynomials. Moreover, it is done for the general systems of martingale difference polynomials.

Let X and X be compact Hausdorff spaces, and X , X be Banach lattices. Let X denote the Banach lattice of all continuous X -valued functions on X equipped with the pointwise ordering and the sup norm. We prove that if there exists a Riesz isomorphism X such that X is non-vanishing on X if and only if X is non-vanishing on X , then X is homeomorphic to X , and X is Riesz isomorphic to X . In this case, X can be written as a weighted composition operator: X , where X is a homeomorphism from X onto X , and X is a Riesz isomorphism from X onto X for every X in X . This generalizes some known results obtained recently.

The Opial property of Hilbert spaces and some other special Banach spaces is a powerful tool in establishing fixed point theorems for nonexpansive and, more generally, nonspreading mappings. Unfortunately, not every Banach space shares the Opial property. However, every Banach space has a similar Bregman-Opial property for Bregman distances. In this paper, using Bregman distances, we introduce the classes of Bregman nonspreading mappings and investigate the Mann and Ishikawa iterations for these mappings. We establish weak and strong convergence theorems for Bregman nonspreading mappings.
