Linear maps preserving Kasparov cycles and the characterization of induced automorphisms
Abstract
Let E be a Hilbert C*-module and ℒ(E) the C*-algebra of all bounded adjointable operators on E. An operator T ∈ ℒ(E) is a Kasparov cycle if T*T − 1 and TT*−1 are compact operators on E. If ℒ(E)→ ℒ(E) is a prime C*-algebra, and φ:ℒ(E)→ ℒ(E) is a linear map which is unital and surjective up to compact operators, and preserves Kasparov cycles in both directions, then the induced map ψ:ℒ(E)/𝒦(E) → ℒ(E)/𝒦(E) is either a *-automorphism or a *-anti-automorphism. Our work extends the main result of [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 354 (2009), 625-629] to the set of Kasparov cycles, showing that the assumption ``ℒ(E)/𝒦(E) has real rank zero'' is redundant in our results.
