We describe additive surjections on direct sum of matrix algebras that preserve singularity in one direction. As an application, we classify additive surjections on finite-dimensional $C^\ast$-algebras that preserve mutual strong Birkhoff-James orthogonality in one direction.
It is shown that every linear strong Birkhoff-James isomorphism between unital $C^*$-algebras is a $*$-isomorphism followed by a unitary multiplication. Moreover, as a partial extension of this result to the non-unital case, the form of (possibly nonlinear) strong Birkhoff-James isomorphisms between compact $C^*$-algebras are determined. A nonlinear characterization of compact $C^*$-algebras in terms of strong Birkhoff-James orthogonality is also given.
We classify bijective maps which strongly preserve Birkhoff-James orthogonality on a finite-dimensional complex $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that those maps are close to being real-linear isometries whose structure is also determined.
We determine the exact diameter of the orthograph related to mutual strong Birkhoff-James orthogonality in arbitrary finite dimensional $C^{*}$-algebra. Additionally, we will estimate the distance between vertices in an arbitrary $C^{*}$-algebra that can be represented as a direct sum.
We give necessary and sufficient condition that an element of an arbitrary $C^{*}$-algebra is an isolated vertex of the orthograph related to the mutual strong Birkhoff-James orthogonality. Also, we prove that for all $C^{*}$-algebras except $\mathbb{C},\mathbb{C}\oplus\mathbb{C}$ and $M_2(\mathbb{C})$ all non isolated points make a single connected component of the orthograph which diameter is less than or equal to $4$, i.e. any two non isolated points can be connected by a path with at most $4$ edges. Some related results are given.
