Abstract

Let $A$ be a unital $C^{*}$-algebra which has a faithful state. If $\varphi:A\rightarrow A$ is a unital linear map which is bijective and invertibility preserving or surjective and spectral radius preserving, then $\varphi$ is a Jordan isomorphism. Also, we discuss other types of linear preserver maps on $A$.
