In this paper we strengthen that result quite substantially for *-automorphisms. Indeed, we show that one can compress the defining two equations of 2-local *-automorphisms into one single equation, hence weakening the requirement significantly, but still keeping essentially the conclusion that such maps are necessarily *-automorphisms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-22T13:40:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "isometries", "full operator algebra", "automorphism", "important result", "separable hilbert space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
