This talk discusses a conjecture of R. V. Kadison and myself. Our conjecture is that each one-to-one linear map of one unital C*-algebra onto another that preserves the identity is a Jordan isomorphism if it maps the invertible elements of the first C*-algebra onto the invertible elements of the other C*-algebra. Connections are shown between this conjecture and Cartan’s uniqueness theorem. 1. Definitions and notation Throughout, A and B denote complex Banach algebras with identity (denoted by e). Put Ainv = {x ∈ A : x−1 exists } and given x ∈ A, let σ(x) = {λ ∈ C : λ e− x 6∈ Ainv} denote the spectrum of x. The spectral radius of x is defined by |x|σ = sup{|λ| : λ ∈ σ(x)}. It is well known that σ(x) is a non-empty compact set and that |x|σ = lim n→∞ ‖x‖ ≤ ‖x‖ Indeed, these facts are proved by applying holomorphic properties of the resolvent [12, p. 125]. By definition, A is semisimple if the only element z ∈ A satisfying σ(zx) = {0} for all x ∈ A is z = 0. For example [12, Th. 24.8.7], if A is the Banach algebra L(X) of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space X, then A is semisimple. Recall that a C*-algebra is a closed complex subalgebra A of L(H) for some Hilbert space H such that A contains the adjoints of each of its elements.
