1 Introduction
Let \({\mathcal {A}}\) and \({\mathcal {B}}\) be two algebras. Recall that a map \(\Phi : {\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) preserves product or is multiplicative if \(\Phi (AB)=\Phi (A)\Phi (B)\) for all \(A, B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) The question of when a multiplicative map is additive was discussed in [16]. Motivated by this, many authors pay more attention to the maps on algebras preserving Lie product \([A, B]=AB-BA\) (for example, see [13,14,15, 17, 18]), or the skew Lie product \([A,B]_{*}=AB-BA^{*}\) (for example, see [1, 3, 7, 11]), or the Jordan \(*\)-product \(A\bullet B=AB+BA^{*}\) (for example, see [4, 8, 12, 22]). These results show that the (skew) Lie product or Jordan \(*\)-product structure is enough to determine the algebraic structure.
Recently, maps preserving the products of the mixture of (skew) Lie product and Jordan \(*\)-product have received a fair amount of attention. For example, Yang and Zhang [19] studied the nonlinear maps preserving the mixed skew Lie triple product \([[A,B]_{*},C]\) on factors. Li et al. studied the nonlinear maps preserving the skew Lie triple product \([[A,B]_{*},C]_{*}\) (for example, see [6, 10]) and the Jordan triple \(*\)-product \(A\bullet B\bullet C \) (for example, see [9, 21]) on von Neumann algebras. In the present paper, we will establish the structure of the nonlinear maps preserving the mixed product \([A\bullet B, C]\) on factors.
Let \({\mathbb {R}}\) and \({\mathbb {C}}\) denote, respectively the real field and complex field. A von Neumann algebra \({\mathcal {A}}\) is a weakly closed, self-adjoint algebra of operators on a Hilbert space \({\mathcal {H}}\) containing the identity operator I. \({\mathcal {A}}\) is a factor means that its center is \({\mathbb {C}}I\). It is well known that the factor \({\mathcal {A}}\) is prime, in the sense that \(A{\mathcal {A}}B=0\) for \(A, B\in {\mathcal {A}}\) implies either \(A=0\) or \(B=0\).
2 Additivity
The main result in this section is the following.
Theorem 2.1
Let \({\mathcal {A}}\) and \({\mathcal {B}}\) be two factors. Suppose that a bijective map \(\Phi : {\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) satisfies \(\Phi ([A\bullet B, C])=[\Phi (A)\bullet \Phi (B), \Phi (C)]\) for all \(A, B, C\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Then \(\Phi \) is additive.
Proof
We will complete the proof by proving several claims. \(\square \)
Claim 1
\(\Phi (0)=0\).
For every \(A\in {\mathcal {A}},\) we have
Since \(\Phi \) is surjective, there exists \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) such that \(\Phi (A)=0.\) So \(\Phi (0)=0.\)
Choose an arbitrary nontrivial projection \(P_{1}\in {\mathcal {A}}\), write \(P_{2}=I-P_{1}.\) Denote \({\mathcal {A}}_{ij}=P_{i}{\mathcal {A}}P_{j}, i,j=1,2.\) Then \({\mathcal {A}}=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}{\mathcal {A}}_{ij}.\) For every \(A\in {\mathcal {A}},\) we may write \(A=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}A_{ij}.\) In all that follows, when we write \(A_{ij},\) it indicates that \(A_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ij}\).
Claim 2
For every \(A_{12}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{12}, B_{21}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{21},\) we have
Choose \(T=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}T_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}\) such that
Since \([A_{12}\bullet P_{1}, P_{1}]=[B_{21}\bullet P_{2}, P_{2}]=0\), it follows from Claim 1 that
and
Thus \(\Phi ([T\bullet P_{1}, P_{1}])=[\Phi (T)\bullet \Phi (P_{1}), \Phi (P_{1})]=0\) and \(\Phi ([T\bullet P_{2}, P_{2}])=[\Phi (T)\bullet \Phi (P_{2}), \Phi (P_{2})]=0\). Then \([T\bullet P_{1}, P_{1}]=[T\bullet P_{2}, P_{2}]=0,\) and so \(T_{12}=T_{21}=0.\)
For every \(C_{kl}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{kl},1\le k\ne l\le 2\), it follows from \([C_{kl}\bullet A_{12}, P_{k}]=[C_{kl}\bullet B_{21}, P_{k}]=0\) that
Thus \(\Phi ([C_{kl}\bullet T, P_{k}])=[\Phi (C_{kl})\bullet \Phi (T), \Phi (P_{k})]=0,\) and so \([C_{kl}\bullet T, P_{k}]=0,\) which implies that \(C_{kl}T_{ll}=0\) for every \(C_{kl}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{kl}\). Note that \({\mathcal {A}}\) is prime, it follows that \(T_{ll}=0, l=1,2\). Hence \(T=0.\) Now we have proved that \(\Phi (A_{12}+B_{21})=\Phi (A_{12})+\Phi (B_{21}).\)
Claim 3
For every \(A_{11}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{11}, B_{12}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{12}, C_{21}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{21}, D_{22}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{22} ,\) we have
Let \(T=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}T_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}\) be such that
It follows from Claim 2 that
This implies that \([P_{1} \bullet T,P_{2}]=0\). Thus \(T_{12}=T_{21}=0.\) For every \(E_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ij}(i\ne j)\), we have
and
Then \([E_{ij}\bullet T,P_{i}]=0\), and so \(T_{11}=T_{22}=0.\) Hence \(T=0.\) It follows that \(\Phi (A_{11}+B_{12}+C_{21}+D_{22})=\Phi (A_{11})+\Phi (B_{12}) +\Phi (C_{21})+\Phi (D_{22}).\)
Claim 4
For every \(A_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ij}, B_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ij}, 1\le i\ne j\le 2,\) we have
It follows from \(A_{ij}+B_{ij}=[\frac{I}{2}\bullet (P_{i}+A_{ij}),P_{j}+B_{ij}]\) and Claim 3 that
Claim 5
For every \(A_{ii},B_{ii}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ii},i=1,2,\) we have
Let
It is clear that
Thus \([P_{i}\bullet T,P_{i}]=0,\) which implies that \(T_{12}=T_{21}=0.\)
For every \(C_{ji}\in {\mathcal {A}}_{ij},j\ne i,\) it follows from Claims 3 and 4 that
and
Then \([C_{ji}\bullet T,P_{i}]=[C_{ij}\bullet T,P_{i}]=0,\) and so \(T_{11}=T_{22}=0.\) Hence \(T=0.\) It follows that \(\Phi (A_{ii}+B_{ii})=\Phi (A_{ii})+\Phi (B_{ii}).\)
Claim 6
\(\Phi \) is additive.
Let \(A=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}A_{ij}, B=\sum ^{2}_{i,j=1}B_{ij}\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) By Claims 3, 4 and 5, we have
3 Main Result
Our main result in this paper reads as follows.
Theorem 3.1
Let \({\mathcal {A}}\) and \({\mathcal {B}}\) be two factors with dim\({\mathcal {A}}>4\). Then a bijective map \(\Phi : {\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) satisfies \(\Phi ([A\bullet B, C])=[\Phi (A)\bullet \Phi (B), \Phi (C)]\) for all \(A, B, C\in {\mathcal {A}}\) if and only if \(\Phi \) is a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism.
Proof
Clearly, we only need prove the necessity. By Theorem 2.1, we obtain the additivity of \(\Phi \). Now we will complete the proof of main theorem by proving several steps.
Step 1. \(\Phi ({\mathbb {C}}I)={\mathbb {C}}I\).
Let \(B\in {\mathcal {A}}\) such that \(\Phi (B)=I.\) Then
for all \(C\in {\mathcal {A}}\) and \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {C}}.\) It follows from the surjectivity of \(\Phi \) that \(\Phi (\lambda I)\in {\mathbb {C}}I\), and then \(\Phi ({\mathbb {C}}I)\subseteq {\mathbb {C}}I\). By considering \(\Phi ^{-1}\), we can obtain that \(\Phi ({\mathbb {C}}I)={\mathbb {C}}I\). \(\square \)
Step 2. For all \(A, B\in {\mathcal {A}}\), \([\Phi (A), \Phi (B)]=0\) if and only if \([A,B]=0.\)
It follows from \(\Phi (I)\in {\mathbb {C}}I\) and the additivity of \(\Phi \) that
for all \(A, B\in {\mathcal {A}}\). If \(\Phi (I)+\Phi (I)^{*}=0\), then \(\Phi ([A, B])=0,\) and so \([A,B]=0\) for all \(A, B\in {\mathcal {A}}\). This contradiction implies that \(\Phi (I)+\Phi (I)^{*}\ne 0\). Hence \([\Phi (A), \Phi (B)]=0\) if and only if \([A,B]=0.\) \(\square \)
It follows from Step 2 that \(\Phi \) is an additive bijection that preserves commutativity in both directions. Hence by [2, Corollary 3.8]
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}},\) where \(a\in {\mathbb {C}}\) is a nonzero scalar, \(\theta :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive Jordan isomorphism, and \(\xi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}I\) is an additive map. It is easy to check that \(\theta (iI)=\pm iI.\)
Step 3. For every \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}},\) we have
-
(1)
\(\Phi (iA)-\theta (iI)\Phi (A)\in {\mathbb {C}}I,\)
-
(2)
\(\Phi ([A,B])=\epsilon [\Phi (A),\Phi (B)],\) where \(\epsilon \in \{1,-1\}.\)
-
(1)
Let \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Then
$$\begin{aligned} \Phi (iA)-\theta (iI)\Phi (A)&=a\theta (iA)+\xi (iA)-\theta (iI)\Phi (A)\\&=a\theta (iI)\theta (A)+\xi (iA)-\theta (iI)\Phi (A)\\&=\theta (iI)(a\theta (A)+\xi (A))+\xi (iA)-\theta (iI)\xi (A)-\theta (iI)\Phi (A)\\&=\xi (iA)-\theta (iI)\xi (A)\in {\mathbb {C}}I \end{aligned}$$ -
(2)
It follows from Step 1 that \(\frac{1}{2}(\Phi (I)+\Phi (I)^{*})=\epsilon I\) for some \(\epsilon \in {\mathbb {C}}.\) By Step 2, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \Phi ([A,B])=\frac{1}{2}(\Phi (I)+\Phi (I)^{*})[\Phi (A),\Phi (B)]=\epsilon [\Phi (A),\Phi (B)] \end{aligned}$$for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) For every \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) with \(A=-A^{*},\) we have
$$\begin{aligned} {[}\Phi (A)\bullet \Phi (B),\Phi (C)]&=\Phi ([A\bullet B,C])=\Phi ([[A,B],C])\\&=\epsilon ^{2}[[\Phi (A),\Phi (B)],\Phi (C)] \end{aligned}$$for all \(B,C\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Thus
$$\begin{aligned} (1-\epsilon ^{2})\Phi (A)\Phi (B)+\Phi (B)(\epsilon ^{2}\Phi (A)+\Phi (A)^{*}) \in {\mathbb {C}}I \end{aligned}$$(3.1)for all \(B\in {\mathcal {A}}\) and \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) with \(A=-A^{*}.\) Let \(P_{1}\in {\mathcal {B}}\) be a nontrivial projection. Then there exists \(D\in {\mathcal {A}}\) such that \(\Phi (D)=P_{1}\). Taking \(B=D\) in (3.1), we have
$$\begin{aligned} (1-\epsilon ^{2})\Phi (A)P_{1}+P_{1}(\epsilon ^{2}\Phi (A)+\Phi (A)^{*})\in {\mathbb {C}}I. \end{aligned}$$This yields
$$\begin{aligned} (1-\epsilon ^{2})P_{2}\Phi (A)P_{1}=0 \end{aligned}$$(3.2)for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) with \(A=-A^{*},\) where \(P_{2}=I-P_{1}.\) Then by assertion (1) and (3.2),
$$\begin{aligned} (1-\epsilon ^{2})P_{2}\Phi (iB)P_{1}=0 \end{aligned}$$(3.3)for all \(B\in {\mathcal {A}}\) with \(B=-B^{*}.\) It follows from (3.2) and (3.3) that
$$\begin{aligned} (1-\epsilon ^{2})P_{2}\Phi (C)P_{1}=0 \end{aligned}$$for all \(C\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Hence \(\epsilon \in \{1,-1\}.\)
-
(1)
\(\square \)
Remark 3.2
Let \(\epsilon \) be as above, and let \(\Psi =\epsilon \Phi .\) It follows from Theorem 2.1 and Step 3(2) that \(\Psi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive bijection and satisfies
and
for all A, B, C in \({\mathcal {A}}.\) Hence by [20, Theorem 2.1], there exists an additive map \(f:{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}I\) with \(f([A,B])=0 \) for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}\) such that one of the following statements holds:
-
(1)
\(\Psi (A)=\varphi (A)+f(A)\) for all A in \({\mathcal {A}},\) where \(\varphi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive isomorphism;
-
(2)
\(\Psi (A)=-\varphi (A)+f(A)\) for all A in \({\mathcal {A}},\) where \(\varphi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive anti-isomorphism.
Step 4. Statement (2) of Remark 3.2 does not occur.
Indeed, if \(\Psi =-\varphi +f,\) where \(\varphi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive anti-isomorphism and \(f:{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}I\) is an additive map with \(f([A,B])=0 \) for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}},\) then
for all A, B, C in \({\mathcal {A}}.\) On the other hand,we have
It follows from the surjectivity of \(\varphi \) that
for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Let \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}\) be a nontrivial projection. Then \(\varphi (P)\) is a nontrivial idempotent in \({\mathcal {B}}.\) Taking \(B=P\) in (3.4) and multiplying (3.4) on the right-hand side by \(\varphi (P^{\bot })\) and on the left-hand side by \(\varphi (P),\) we get
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Replacing \(\varphi (A)\) by \(i\varphi (A)\) in (3.5), we have
It follows from (3.5) and (3.6) that
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Hence \(f(P)=I\) for any nontrivial projection \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Taking \(B=P\) in (3.4) and multiplying (3.4) on the right-hand side by \(\varphi (P^{\bot })\), we have
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) and any nontrivial projection \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Replacing \(\varphi (A)\) by \(i\varphi (A)\) in (3.7), we can obtain that
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\) and any nontrivial projection \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) This implies that
for any nontrivial projection \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) It follows that \({\mathcal {A}}\) is isomorphic to \(M_{2}({\mathbb {C}}),\) the algebra of all \(2\times 2\) matrices over \({\mathbb {C}},\) which contradicts the assumption that dim\({\mathcal {A}}>4\).
\(\square \)
Step 5. \(\Psi \) is an additive *-isomorphism .
By Step 4, now we obtain that \(\Psi =\varphi +f,\) where \(\varphi :{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) is an additive isomorphism and \(f:{\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathbb {C}}I\) is an additive map with \(f([A,B])=0 \) for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Thus
for all \(A,B,C\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) On the other hand, we have
It follows from the surjectivity of \(\varphi \) that
for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Let \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {C}},\) and let \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}\) be a nontrivial projection. Multiplying (3.8) on the left-hand side by \(\varphi (P^{\bot })\) and on the right-hand side by \(\varphi (P),\) and then taking \(B=\lambda P,\) we have
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Similarly, we can obtain from (3.9) that
for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Then \(f(\lambda P)=0\) for all \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {C}}\) and any nontrivial projection \(P\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) This yields that
for all \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {C}}.\) Since every A in \({\mathcal {A}}\) can be written as a finite linear combination of projections in \({\mathcal {A}}\) (see [5]), it follows that \(f(A)=0\) for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\). Now (3.8) becomes
for all \(A,B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) In particular, \(\varphi (A)^{*}-\varphi (A^{*})\in {\mathbb {C}}I\) for all \(A\in {\mathcal {M}}.\) If \(\varphi (A)^{*}-\varphi (A^{*})\ne 0\) for some \(A\in {\mathcal {A}},\) then by (3.10), \(\varphi (B)\in {\mathbb {C}}I\) for all \(B\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) This contradiction implies that \(\varphi (A)^{*}=\varphi (A^{*})\) for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}.\) Hence \(\Psi =\varphi \) is an additive \(*\)-isomorphism. \(\square \)
Step 6. \(\Phi \) is a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism.
By Step 5, it is easy to check that \(\Psi (iI)=\pm iI\) and \(\Psi (qI)=qI\) for every rational number q. Let A be a positive element in \({\mathcal {A}}\). Then \(A=B^{2}\) for some self-adjoint element \(B\in {\mathcal {A}}\). It follows from Step 5 that \(\Psi (A)=\Psi (B)^{2}\) and \(\Psi (B)\) is self-adjoint. So \(\Psi (A)\) is positive. This shows that \(\Psi \) preserves positive elements. Let \(\lambda \in {\mathbb {R}}\) be any real number. Choose sequences \(\{a_{n}\}\) and \(\{b_{n}\}\) of rational numbers such that \(a_{n}\le \lambda \le b_{n}\) for all n and \(\lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }a_{n}= \lim _{n\rightarrow \infty }b_{n}=\lambda .\) It follows from
that
Taking the limit, we get that \(\Psi (\lambda I)= \lambda I\). Hence for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\),
Hence \(\Psi \) is real linear. It follows from \(\Psi (iI)=\pm iI\) that \(\Psi \) is linear or conjugate linear. Since \(\Phi =\epsilon \Psi , \epsilon \in \{1,-1\}\), now we can obtain that \(\Phi \) is a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a linear \(*\)-isomorphism, or the negative of a conjugate linear \(*\)-isomorphism. \(\square \)
From Theorem 3.1 and the fact that every ring isomorphism between type I factors is spatial, we have the following corollary.
Corollary 3.3
Let \({\mathcal {A}}\) and \({\mathcal {B}}\) be two type I factors acting on a complex Hilbert spaces \({\mathcal {H}}\) with dim\({\mathcal {H}}>2\). Then a bijective map \(\Phi : {\mathcal {A}}\rightarrow {\mathcal {B}}\) satisfies \(\Phi ([A\bullet B, C])=[\Phi (A)\bullet \Phi (B), \Phi (C)]\) for all \(A, B, C\in {\mathcal {A}}\) if and only if there exists \(\epsilon \in \{1,-1\}\) such that \(\Phi (A)=\epsilon UAU^{*}\) for all \(A\in {\mathcal {A}}\), where U is a unitary or conjugate unitary operator.
