An additive map \\(T:R\\rightarrow R\\) is called a left centralizer when \\(T(xy)=T(x)y\\) holds for all pairs \\(x,y\\in R\\). The definition of a right centralizer should be self-explanatory. We call a map \\(T:R\\rightarrow R\\) a two-sided centralizer when \\(T\\) is both a left and a right centralizer. In the case that \\(T:R\\rightarrow R\\) is a two-sided centralizer, where \\(R\\) is a semiprime ring with extended centroid \\(C\\), then it is known that \\(T\\) is of the form \\(T(x)=\\lambda x\\) for all \\(x\\in R\\), where \\(\\lambda \\in C\\) is some fixed element.NEWLINENEWLINELet now \\(X\\) be a real or complex Banach space and let \\(\\mathcal{L}(X)\\) and \\(\\mathcal{F}(X)\\) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on \\(X\\) and the ideal of all finite rank operators in \\(\\mathcal{L}(X)\\), respectively. An algebra \\(\\mathcal{A}(X)\\subset \\) \\(\\mathcal{L}(X)\\) is said to be standard when \\(\\mathcal{F}(X)\\subset \\mathcal{A}(X)\\).NEWLINENEWLINE The authors prove the following result: Let \\(X\\) be a complex Hilbert space and \\(\\mathcal{A}(X)\\) a standard operator algebra which is closed under the adjoint operation. Let \\(A^{\\ast }\\) denote the adjoint operator of \\(A\\in \\mathcal{L}(X)\\). Suppose that \\(T:\\mathcal{A}(X)\\rightarrow \\mathcal{L}(X)\\) is a linear map satisfying NEWLINE\\[NEWLINE 3T(AA^{\\ast }A)=T(A)A^{\\ast }A+AT(A^{\\ast })A+AA^{\\ast }T(A) NEWLINE\\]NEWLINE for all \\(A\\in \\mathcal{A}(X)\\). Then \\(T\\) is of the form \\(T(A)=\\lambda A\\) for all \\(A\\in \\) \\(\\mathcal{A}(X)\\), where \\(\\lambda \\) is a fixed complex number.NEWLINENEWLINENote that any standard operator algebra is prime. Given an integer \\(n\\geq 2\\), a ring is said to be \\(n\\)-torsion free if, for \\(x\\in R\\), \\(nx=0\\) implies \\(x=0\\).NEWLINENEWLINE To place their result in a broader perspective, the authors conclude the paper with the following conjecture: Let \\(R\\) be a semiprime ring, equipped with an involution, having suitable torsion restrictions, and let \\(T:R\\rightarrow R\\) be an additive map satisfying the relation NEWLINE\\[NEWLINE3T(xx^{\\ast }x)=T(x)x^{\\ast }x+xT(x^{\\ast })x+xx^{\\ast }T(x)NEWLINE\\]NEWLINE for all \\(x\\in R\\). In this case, \\(T\\) is a two-sided centralizer."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-20T12:15:36Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
