Multiplicatively and non-symmetric multiplicatively norm-preserving maps

Let A and B be Banach function algebras on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y and let ‖.‖ _X and ‖.‖ _Y denote the supremum norms on X and Y, respectively. We first establish a result concerning a surjective map T between particular subsets of the uniform closures of A and B, preserving multiplicatively the norm, i.e. ‖Tf Tg‖ _Y = ‖fg‖ _X , for certain elements f and g in the domain. Then we show that if α ∈ ℂ {0} and T: A → B is a surjective, not necessarily linear, map satisfying ‖fg + α‖ _X = ‖Tf Tg + α‖ _Y , f,g ∈ A, then T is injective and there exist a homeomorphism φ: c(B) → c(A) between the Choquet boundaries of B and A, an invertible element η ∈ B with η(Y) ⊆ {1, −1} and a clopen subset K of c(B) such that for each f ∈ A,

$ Tf\left( y \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \eta \left( y \right)f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right) y \in K, \hfill \\ - \frac{\alpha } {{\left| \alpha \right|}}\eta \left( y \right)\overline {f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right)} y \in c\left( B \right)\backslash K \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $ Tf\left( y \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \eta \left( y \right)f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right) y \in K, \hfill \\ - \frac{\alpha } {{\left| \alpha \right|}}\eta \left( y \right)\overline {f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right)} y \in c\left( B \right)\backslash K \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.
