Abstract:Let m,n be non-zero integers with (m+n)(m-n)≠0, M be a factor von Neumann algebra on Hilbert spaces H over the real or complex field F and φ be a nonlinear map from M into itself. By using the algebraic decomposion on M, it is showed that if φ satisfies 2mφ(AB)+2nφ(BA)=mφ(A)B+mAφ(B)+nφ(B)A+nBφ(A) for all A,B∈M, then the map is an additive centralizer and we characterize the concrete form: there exists a λ∈F such that φ:A→λA for all A∈M.
