Abstract
Let ℑ and ℜ be unital complex ∗-algebras, and suppose that ℑ contains a nontrivial projection ℘1. Writing ℘2=ℷℑ−℘1, assume the annihilator conditions ϑℑ℘1=0⇒ϑ=0 and ϑℑ℘2=0⇒ϑ=0. If a bijection Φ:ℑ→ℜ preserves the mixed ternary product [ϑ,ς*∘ϱ]* for all ϑ,ς,ϱ∈ℑ, then Φ is additive. Moreover, if Φ(ℷℑ)=ℷℜ, then Φ is a ∗-preserving ring isomorphism. The result yields corresponding statements for prime ∗-algebras, factor von Neumann algebras, and standard operator algebras. We also show that the identity normalization cannot in general be omitted and indicate several directions for extending the argument to broader preserver problems.
