Abstract. Let G be a generalized matrix algebra over a commutative ring R , q: G × G −→ G be an R -bilinear mapping and T q : : G −→ G be a trace of q . We describe the form of T q satisfying the condition T q (G)G = GT q (G) for all G ∈ G . The question of when T q has the proper form is considered. Using the aforementioned trace function, we establish sufficient conditions for each Lie isomorphism of G to be almost standard. As applications we characterize Lie isomorphisms of full matrix algebras, of triangular algebras and of certain unital algebras with nontrivial idempotents. Some further research topics related to current work are proposed at the end of this article.Mathematics subject classification (2010): 15A78, 15A86, 16W10.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
