1 Introduction
Throughout this paper, B(X) denotes the algebra of all bounded linear operators
on an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space X. Recall that the local resolvent
set ρT (x) of an operator T ∈ B(X) at a point x ∈ X is the set of all λ in C for
which there exist an open neighborhood Uλ of λ in C and an X-valued analytic
function f : Uλ → X such that (T − µI)f (µ) = x for all µ ∈ Uλ . As it is known,
1
σT (x) denotes the local spectrum of T at x, it is the complement in C of ρT (x)
and is a compact subset of the spectrum σ(T ) of T , possibly empty. An operator
T ∈ B(X) is said to have the single − valued extension property (SVEP) if for
every open subset U of C, the equation (T − λI)f (λ) = 0 for all λ ∈ U , has
no nontrivial analytic solution f on U . If T has the SVEP, then σT (x) 6= ∅ for
all nonzero vector x ∈ X. Let r be a positive scalar, we denote by D(0, r) and
D(0, r), respectively, the open and the closed disc centered at the origin with radius
r. For every closed subset F of C, the glocal spectral of an operator T ∈ B(X)
is defined by XT (F ) := {x ∈ X : there exists an analytic function f : C \ F −→
X such that (T − λ)f (λ) = x for all λ ∈ C \ F }. The local spectral radius of T at
x ∈ X is defined by
1
rT (x) = lim sup kT n (x)k n ,
n→∞
is coincides with rT (x) = inf{r ≥ 0 : x ∈ XT (D(0, r))}, and also with the maximum
modulus of σT (x) if T has the SVEP, see for instance [19]. Recall that for an
operator T ∈ B(X), the analytical core K(T ) of T is the set of all x ∈ X for which
there exist δ > 0 and a sequence (xn ) ⊂ X such that x0 = x, T xn+1 = xn and
kxn k ≤ δn kxk for all n ≥ 0, for more information, see [3, 19]. Recall also that the
inner local spectral radius iT (x) of T at x ∈ X is defined by iT (x) := sup{r ≥ 0 :
x ∈ XT (C\D(0, r))}; see [20].
The study of local spectra preserver problems was initiated by A. Bourhim and T.
Ransford [12], they characterized additive maps on B(X) which preserve the local
spectrum of all operators T ∈ B(X) at each vector x ∈ X. After that, the maps
preserving local spectrum and local spectral radius have been studied by many
authors; see [4, 7, 9, 13, 14]. In [16], M.E. El Kettani and H. Benbouziane showed
that a surjective additive map φ on B(X) satisfies
iT (x) = 0 if and only if iφ(T ) (x) = 0
for all x ∈ X and T ∈ B(X) if and only if there exists a nonzero scalar c ∈ C such
that φ(T ) = cT for all T ∈ B(X). M. Elhodaibi and A. Jaatit, in [15], proved the
result of T. Jari [17] for all maps φ on B(X) (not necessarily surjective) satisfying
iφ(T )−φ(S) (x) = 0 ⇐⇒ iT −S (x) = 0
for every x ∈ X and T , S ∈ B(X) if and only if there exists a nonzero scalar
c ∈ C such that φ(T ) = cT + φ(0). For the inner local spectral radius preservers
of generalized product, A. Achchi [2], showed that if a surjective map φ on B(X)
satisfies
iφ(T1 )∗...∗φ(Tk ) (x) = 0 ⇐⇒ iTk ∗...∗Tk (x) = 0
for all x ∈ X and all T1 , ..., Tk ∈ B(X), then there exists a map γ : B(X) −→
C\{0} such that φ(T ) = γ(T )T . Let us mention other papers that characterize
2
nonlinear maps preserving certain spectral and local spectral quantities of product
and Jordan product of operators or matrices, see for instance [5, 6, 10, 11]. In the
present paper, we characterize surjective maps φ (not necessarily linear) on B(X)
that satisfying
K(T S + ST ) = K(φ(T )φ(S) + φ(S)φ(T ))
for all T, S ∈ B(X). This gives immediately the characterization of surjective maps
φ : B(X) −→ B(X) satisfying
In The next lemma, we give some basic properties of K(T ) and iT (x), see for
instance [3, 19, 20].
3
The next lemma and its proof are quoted in [18].
Lemma 2. Let T, S ∈ B(X). Assume that for every x ∈ X the vector T x belongs
to the linear span of x and Sx. Then T = λI + µS for some λ, µ ∈ C.
The following lemma was introduced in [2] for generalized product of operators,
but in this paper we use another techniques to characterize rank one operators by
the dimension of analytical core of Jordan product of operators.
Lemma 3. For a nonzero operator A ∈ B(X), the following statements are equiv-
alent.
Case 1. If Rank(A) ≥ 3.
Let y1 , y2 , y3 ∈ X be linearly independent vectors such that y1 = Ax1 , y2 = Ax2
and y3 = Ax3 where x1 , x2 , x3 ∈ X are obviously linearly independent. We will
distinguish four cases.
(2) If dim(span{x1 , x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 , y3 }) = 4.
Let for example span{x1 , x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 , y3 } = span{x1 , y1 , y2 , y3 }. Consider
an operator T ∈ B(X) satisfying T y1 = x1 , T y2 = x2 , T y3 = x3 and
′ ′ ′ ′
T x1 = 0. For x2 = αx1 + βy1 + γy2 + δy3 and x3 = α x1 + β y1 + γ y2 + δ y3
′ ′ ′ ′
where α, β, γ, δ, α , β , γ , δ ∈ C, we get that Rx2 = 2x2 − αx1 and Rx3 =
2x3 − α′ x1 . Since Rx1 = x1 , then RM = M with M = span{x1 , x2 , x3 }.
Hence M ⊂ K(R), therefore dim(K(R)) ≥ 3.
4
(3) If dim(span{x1 , x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 , y3 }) = 5.
Let for example span{x1 , x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 , y3 } = span{x1 , x2 , y1 , y2 , y3 }. Take
an operator T ∈ B(X) satisfying T y1 = x1 , T y2 = x2 , T y3 = x3 and
T x1 = T x2 = 0. For x3 = αx1 + βx2 + y where y ∈ Span{y1 , y2 , y3 } and
α, β ∈ C, we get that Rx1 = x1 , Rx2 = x2 and Rx3 = 2x3 − αx1 − βx2 . It
follows that RM = M with M = span{x1 , x2 , x3 }. Then M ⊂ K(R), thus
dim(K(R)) ≥ 3.
(4) If dim(span{x1 , x2 , x3 , y1 , y2 , y3 }) = 6.
Let T ∈ B(X) be an operator satisfying T y1 = x1 , T y2 = x2 , T y3 = x3 and
T x1 = T x2 = T x3 = 0. Since Rx1 = x1 , Rx2 = x2 and Rx3 = x3 . It follows
that span{x1 , x2 , x3 } ⊂ N (R − I) ⊂ K(R), and so dim(K(R)) ≥ 3.
Case 2. If Rank(A) = 2.
Let y1 and y2 two linearly independent vectors such that y1 = Ax1 , y2 = Ax2 and
Ay1 = ay1 + by2 where a, b ∈ C.
If x1 , y1 , y2 ∈ X are linearly dependent, we can choose u ∈ N (A) such that x1 +
u, y1 , y2 ∈ X are linearly dependent. Now, if x1 + u, x2 , y1 ∈ X are linearly
dependent. As x1 + u and y1 are linearly independent, and N (A) is an infinite-
dimensional subspace of X. Then we can take v ∈ N (A) such that x1 + u, x2 +
v, y1 ∈ X are linearly independent. Thus without loss of generality, we may assume
that (x1 , y1 , y2 ) and (x1 , x2 , y1 ) are linearly independent. Let us distinguish two
cases.
(1) If x2 ∈ span{x1 , y1 , y2 }.
Let x2 = αx1 + βy1 + γy2 where α, β, γ ∈ C. For an operator T ∈ B(X)
satisfying T y1 = x1 , T y2 = x2 and T x1 = 0, we get that
Rx1 = x1
Rx2 = 2x2 − αx1
Ry1 = y1 + ax1 + bx2 .
5
T x2 = 0. Hence
Rx1 = x1
Rx2 = x2
Ry1 = y1 + ax1 + bx2 .
Lemma 4. For A and B two operators in B(X), the following statements are
equivalent.
Case 1. (x, Ax, Bx) are linearly independent for some nonzero vector x ∈ X.
Let f be a linear functional in X ∗ such that f (x) = f (Ax) = 0 and f (Bx) = 1.
For F = x ⊗ f , we obtain that
( (
Rx = 0 Sx = x
2
and
RAx = f (A x)x SBx = f (B 2 x)x + Bx.
This yields that R2 = 0, thus K(R) = {0} but x ∈ K(S), which is a contradiction.
Case 2. (x, Ax, Bx) are linearly dependent for all x ∈ X.
Let x be a vector in X. If x and Ax are linearly independent, then we get that
Bx ∈ span{x, Ax}. If not, then Ax = µx where µ ∈ C. Suppose that Bx and x
are linearly independent. It follows that there exists a linear functional f ∈ X ∗
such that f (x) = 0 and f (Bx) = 1. For T = x ⊗ f we obtain that Rx = 0
and Sx = x. Thus x ∈ K(S) = K(R) = {0}. This contradiction shows that
Bx ∈ span{x} ⊂ span{x, Ax}. We conclude that Bx ∈ span{x, Ax} for all
6
x ∈ X. Lemma 2 implies that B = λA + αI where α, λ ∈ C. It is clear that we
have
A = 0 if and only if B = 0
and also
A ∈ CI if and only if B ∈ CI.
Now, if A ∈
/ CI, assume that α 6= 0. For that we distinguish two cases.
Hence
Rx = f (Ax)x + f (x)Ax
(
Sx = f (Ax)x + f (x)Ax + 2αf (x)x
f (Ax) and
RAx = Rx SAx = (f (A2 x) + αf (Ax))x + f (Ax)(Ax + αx).
f (x)
Thus (
Sx = Rx + 2αf (x)x
SAx = f (A2 x)x + f (Ax)Ax + 2αf (Ax)x,
and so
Sx = Rx + 2αf (x)x
f (Ax)
SAx = Sx.
f (x)
7
• Now, if f (Ax) 6= 0, we have K(R) = span{Rx} and K(S) = span{Sx}.
Hence there exists a nonzero scalar δ ∈ C such that Sx = δRx.
This implies that 2αf (x)x = (δ − 1)Rx. As x and Ax are linearly
independent, then δ = 1, contradiction.
3 Main Result
We start this section with the following theorem that gives a characterization of
maps preserving the analytic core of the Jordan product of operators.
Theorem 1. Let φ : B(X) −→ B(X) be a surjective map. Then the following
assertions are equivalent:
(i) For every T, S ∈ B(X), we have
(ii) There is a map γ : B(X) −→ C\{0} such that φ(T ) = γ(T )T for all T ∈
B(X).
Proof. Clearly, we have (ii) =⇒ (i). It remains to show that (i) =⇒ (ii). We
divide the proof into several steps.
8
Step 2. For any operator F ∈ B(X), φ(F ) ∈ F1 (X) if and only if F ∈ F1 (X).
Let F ∈ B(X) such that φ(F ) is a rank one operator. Step 1 implies that F 6= 0.
By Lemma 3, we obtain that
for all T ∈ B(X). It follows from Lemma 3 that F is a rank one operator. Just as
before, we obtain in the same way that if F ∈ F1 (X) then φ(F ) ∈ F1 (X).
(1) There is a nonzero scalar λP such that φ(P ) = λP P , for every rank one
idempotent operator P ∈ F1 (X).
Let x ∈ X and f ∈ X ∗ such that f (x) = 1. Step 2 implies that there
exist a nonzero vector y ∈ X and a linear functional g ∈ X ∗ such that
φ(x ⊗ f ) = y ⊗ g. Since x ⊗ f is a rank one idempotent operator, then
span{x} = K(x ⊗ f )
= K(x ⊗ f x ⊗ f + x ⊗ f x ⊗ f )
= K(y ⊗ gy ⊗ g + y ⊗ gx ⊗ g)
= K(2g(y)y ⊗ g).
Then
(x + z) ∈ K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ f + z ⊗ f x ⊗ f ).
9
On the other hand, we have
{0} = K(gz,f (x)z ⊗ gx,f )
= K(x ⊗ gx,f z ⊗ gz,f + z ⊗ gz,f x ⊗ gx,f )
= K(φ(x ⊗ f )φ(z ⊗ f ) + φ(z ⊗ f )φ(x ⊗ f ))
= K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ f + z ⊗ f x ⊗ f ),
which is a contradiction. Hence gx,f and f are linearly dependent, thus
φ(x ⊗ f ) = αx ⊗ f for some nonzero scalar α ∈ C.
(2) There is a nonzero scalar λN such that φ(N ) = λN N , for every rank one
nilpotent operator N ∈ F1 (X).
Let x ∈ X and f ∈ X ∗ such that f (x) = 0. Set T = x ⊗ f , then φ(T ) = y ⊗ g
with g(y) = 0. Assume that x and y are linearly independent, and so let
z ∈ X and h ∈ X ∗ such that f (z) = h(x) = 1, h(z) 6= 0 and h(y) = 0. It
follows that
{0} = K(g(z)y ⊗ h)
= K(y ⊗ gz ⊗ h + z ⊗ hy ⊗ g)
= K(φ(x ⊗ f )φ(z ⊗ h) + φ(z ⊗ h)φ(x ⊗ f ))
= K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f ).
Observe that
(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f )x = x,
hence
span{x} ⊂ K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f ).
This contradiction shows that x and y are linearly dependent. As before,
without loss of generality, we may assume that φ(x⊗f ) = x⊗gx,f for certain
linear functional gx,f ∈ X ∗ .
Suppose that f and g are linearly independent, and let z ∈ X and h ∈ X ∗
such that f (z) = 1, g(z) = 0, h(x) = 1 and h(z) 6= 0. Since
(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f )x = x,
then
span{x} ⊂ K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f ).
On the other hand, we get that
{0} = K(z ⊗ g)
= K(x ⊗ gz ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ g)
= K(φ(x ⊗ f )φ(z ⊗ h) + φ(z ⊗ h)φ(x ⊗ f ))
= K(x ⊗ f z ⊗ h + z ⊗ hx ⊗ f ).
10
Then, this contradiction shows also that f and g are linearly dependent.
Thus φ(x ⊗ f ) = βx ⊗ f for some nonzero scalar β ∈ C.
Now, if f (x) ∈ C \ {0, 1}, obviously this can be obtained as in (1) of Step 3.
Finally, there is a nonzero scalar λF ∈ C such that φ(F ) = λF F for all rank
one operator F ∈ F1 (X).
Step 4. There exists a map γ : B(X) −→ C\{0} such that φ(T ) = γ(T )T for all
T ∈ B(X).
