In the paper "Maps preserving the spectrum of generalized Jordan product of operators", we define a generalized Jordan products on standard operator algebras A1, A2 on complex Banach spaces X1, X2, respectively. This includes the usual Jordan product A1 ∘ A2 = A1 A2 + A2 A1, and the triple \A1,A2,A3\ = A1 A2 A3 + A3 A2 A1. Let a map Φ: A1 → A2 prserving the spectra of the products σ(Φ(A1) ∘ ... ∘ Φ(Ak)) = σ(A1∘ ... ∘ Ak) whenever any one of A1, ..., Ak has rank at most one. It is shown in this paper that if the range of Φ contains all operators of rank at most three, then Φ must be a Jordan isomorphism multiplied by an mth root of unity. Similar results for maps between self-adjoint operators acting on Hilbert spaces are also obtained. After our paper "Maps preserving the spectrum of generalized Jordan product of operators" was published in Linear Algebra Appl. 432 (2010), 1049-1069, Jianlian Cui pointed out that some arguments in the proof of Theorem 3.1 are not entirely clear and accurate. Here we supply some details in the "Addendum".
