Abstract

We prove that a unital, bijective linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if and only if it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) JB-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms. Next, we introduce the notions of absolutely matrix ordered spaces and absolute matrix order unit spaces and prove that a unital, bijective \(*\)-linear map between absolute matrix order unit spaces is a complete isometry if, and only if, it is completely absolute value preserving. We obtain that on (unital) \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebras such maps are precisely \(\hbox {C}^*\)-algebra isomorphisms.
