Abstract

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ be unital prime $*$-algebras such that $\mathfrak{A}$ contains a nontrivial projection. In the present paper, we show that if a bijective map $\Theta:\mathfrak{A}\to\mathfrak{B}$ satisfies $\Theta(_*[X\diamond Y, Z])={}_*[\Theta(X)\diamond \Theta(Y), \Theta(Z)]$ for all $X, Y, Z\in\mathfrak{A}$, then $\Theta$ or $-\Theta$ is a $*$-ring isomorphism. As an application, we shall characterize such maps in factor von Neumann algebras.

Keywords: $*$-algebra, isomorphism, von Neumann algebra
