Let N and M be two nontrivial nests on a real or complex Hilbert space H. Let alg N and alg M be two nest algebras. Suppose that ϕ is a linear bijective mapping from alg N onto alg M such that ϕ ( AB + BA ) = ϕ ( A ) ϕ ( B ) + ϕ ( B ) ϕ ( A ) for any A , B ∈ alg N with AB = G , where G is an arbitrary but fixed operator in alg N and ϕ ( I ) = I . Then ϕ is either an isomorphism or an anti-isomorphism.
