Among them, maps that preserve the disjointness of cozeroes defined between spaces of scalar- valued continuous functions on locally compact and compact spaces, as a generalization of the concept of homomorphism, have a long history in functional analysis in the context of rings, algebras, or vector lattices under several names such as Lamperti operators, separating maps, disjointness preserving operators, etc. (see, for example, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 16]). In recent years, certain attention has been given to such maps when defined on spaces of vector-valued continuous functions (see, e.g., [10, 14]). However, we do not know much about disjointness preserving maps on vector- valued settings in comparison with scalar-valued contexts and something similar can be said with regard to (algebra) homomorphisms between vector-valued group algebras.
