Abstract
We consider the so-called Jordan triple automorphisms of some important sets of self-adjoint operators without the assumption of linearity. These transformations are bijective maps which satisfy the equality $$ \phi(ABA)=\phi(A)\phi(B)\phi(A) $$ on their domains. We determine the general forms of these maps (under the assumption of continuity) on the sets of all invertible positive operators, of all positive operators, and of all invertible self-adjoint operators.
