Abstract
We prove that a Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra into a
semisimple commutative Banach algebra is a ring homomorphism.
Using a signum effectively, we can give a simple proof of the
Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability of a Jordan homomorphism between
Banach algebras. As a direct corollary, we show that to each
approximate Jordan homomorphism f from a Banach algebra into a
semisimple commutative Banach algebra there corresponds a unique
ring homomorphism near to f.
