Abstract: | Let R be a ring, A = M
n
(R) and θ: A → A a surjective additive map preserving zero Jordan products, i.e. if x,y ∈ A are such that xy + yx = 0, then θ(x)θ(y) + θ(y)θ(x) = 0. In this paper, we show that if R contains
\frac12\frac{1}{2}
and n ≥ 4, then θ = λϕ, where λ = θ(1) is a central element of A and ϕ: A → A is a Jordan homomorphism. |
