Abstract:Let η∈0,1}, and let M and N be two von Neumann algebras, one of which has no central abelian projections. A nonlinear bijective map :M→N has been demonstrated to satisfy ([A,B]*(η)·ηC)=[(A),(B)]*(η)·η(C) for all A,B,C∈M. If η=-1, then (I) is a sum of a linear *-isomorphism and a conjugate linear *-isomorphism, where (I) is a self-adjoint central element with (I)2=I. If η≠-1 and satisfies (I)=I,(iI)*=-(iI), then one of the following statements holds: 1) If |η|=1, then is a linear *-isomorphism. 2) If |η|≠1, then is a sum of a linear *-isomorphism and a conjugate linear *-isomorphism.
