For Banach lattices X and Y, let X | | Y and X | | Y denote the positive projective and injective tensor products of X and Y, respectively. In this paper, we characterize the inheritance of reflexivity and containment of copies of c 0, 1, by X | | Y and X | | Y from X and Y, when one of them is an atomic Banach lattice. In this case, we also give an affirmative answer to an open question of Jeurnink.

Recently, Kawasaki and Takahashi (J. Nonlinear Convex Anal. 14:71-87, 2013) defined a broad class of nonlinear mappings, called widely more generalized hybrid, in a Hilbert space which contains generalized hybrid mappings (Kocourek <i>et al.</i> in Taiwan. J.Math. 14:2497-2511, 2010) and strict pseudo-contractive mappings (Browder and Petryshyn in J. Math. Anal. Appl. 20:197-228, 1967). They proved fixed point theorems for such mappings. In this paper, we prove fixed point theorems for widely more generalized hybrid non-self mappings in a Hilbert space by using the idea of Hojo <i>et al.</i> (Fixed Point Theory 12:113-126, 2011) and Kawasaki and Takahashi fixed point theorems (J.Nonlinear Convex Anal. 14:71-87, 2013). Using these fixed point theorems for non-self mappings, we proved the Browder and Petryshyn fixed point theorem (J.Math. Anal. Appl. 20:197-228, 1967) for strict pseudo-contractive

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.

A not necessarily continuous, linear or multiplicative function from an algebra A into itself is called a local automorphism if agrees with an automorphism of A at each point in A. In this paper, we study the question when a local automorphism of a C*-algebra, or a W*-algebra, is an automorphism.

Let : (M1) (M2) be a bijection (not assumed affine nor continuous) between the sets of normal states of two quantum systems, modelled on the self-adjoint parts of von Neumann algebras M1 and M2, respectively. This paper concerns with the situation when preserves (or partially preserves) one of the following three notions of transition probability on the normal state spaces: the transition probability PU introduced by Uhlmann [Rep. Math. Phys. 9, 273-279 (1976)], the transition probability PR introduced by Raggio [Lett. Math. Phys. 6, 233-236 (1982)], and an asymmetric transition probability P0 (as introduced in this article). It is shown that the two systems are isomorphic, i.e., M1 and M2 are Jordan -isomorphic, if preserves all pairs with zero Uhlmann (respectively, Raggio or asymmetric) transition probability, in the sense that for any normal states and , we have P(),()=0 if and only if P(,
