In 1996, Harris and Kadison posed the following problem: show that a linear bijection betweenC∗-algebras that preserves the identity and the set of invertible elements is a Jordan isomorphism. In this paper, we show that ifAandBare semisimple Banach algebras andΦ:A→Bis a linear map ontoBthat preserves the spectrum of elements, thenΦis a Jordan isomorphism if eitherAorBis aC∗-algebra of real rank zero. We also generalize a theorem of Russo.

Abstract We consider a wide class of unital involutive topological algebras provided with a C*-norm and which are inverse limits of sequences of unital involutive Banach algebras; these algebras are taking a prominent position in noncommutative differential geometry, where they are often called unital smooth algebras. In this paper we prove that the group of invertible elements of such a unital solution smooth algebra and the subgroup of its unitary elements are regular analytic Fréchet–Lie groups of Campbell–Baker–Hausdorff type and fulfill a nice infinite-dimensional version of Lie's second fundamental theorem.
