Linear orthogonality preservers between function spaces associated with commutative JB$^*$-triples

It is known, by Gelfand theory, that every commutative JB$^*$-triple admits a representation as a space of continuous functions of the form $C_0^{\mathbb{T}}(L) = \{ a\in C_0(L) : a(λt ) = λa(t), \ \forall λ\in \mathbb{T}, t\in L\},$ where $L$ is a principal $\mathbb{T}$-bundle and $\mathbb{T}$ denotes the unit circle in $\mathbb{C}.$ We provide a description of all orthogonality preserving (non-necessarily continuous) linear maps between commutative JB$^*$-triples. We show that each linear orthogonality preserver $T: C_{0}^{\mathbb{T}} (L_1)\to C_{0}^{\mathbb{T}} (L_2)$ decomposes in three main parts on its image, on the first part as a positive-weighted composition operator, on the second part the points in $L_2$ where the image of $T$ vanishes, and a third part formed by those points $s$ in $L_2$ such that the evaluation mapping $δ_s\circ T$ is non-continuous. Among the consequences of this representation, we obtain that every linear bijection preserving orthogonality between commutative JB$^*$-triples is automatically continuous and biorthogonality preserving.
