The structure of linear zero product and commutativity preservers of $$C^*$$-algebras
2021
Let $$\theta :\mathcal {A}_{sa}\rightarrow \mathcal {B}_{sa}$$
be a bijective real linear zero product preserver between the self-adjoint parts of two (complex) $$C^*$$
-algebras. Suppose $$\theta $$
preserves commutativity in two directions (i.e., $$ab=ba$$
if and only if $$\theta (a)\theta (b)=\theta (b)\theta (a)$$
). We show that $$\theta $$
is automatically continuous. More precisely, there is an invertible central self-adjoint multiplier h of $$\mathcal {B}$$
, and a real linear Jordan isomorphism $$J: \mathcal {A}_{sa}\rightarrow \mathcal {B}_{sa}$$
such that $$\theta = hJ$$
