Abstract: | ![]() We obtain a general form of a surjective (not assumed additive) mapping φ, preserving the nonzero idempotency of a certain product, being defined (a) on the algebra of all bounded linear operators B(X), where X is at least three-dimensional real or complex Banach space, (b) on the set of all rank-one idempotents in B(X) and (c) on the set of all idempotents in B(X). In any of the cases it turns out that φ is additive and either multiplicative or antimultiplicative. |
