Commutativity preserving linear maps and Lie automorphisms of strictly triangular matrix space

From MaRDI portal





A linear map \(\varphi\) on a matrix space of a field \(F\) is said to be commutativity preserving if \(\varphi(A)\) commutes with \(\varphi(B)\) for every pair of commuting matrices \(A,B\). \(\varphi\) is said to be commutativity preserving in both directions when the condition \(AB=BA\) holds if and only if \(\varphi(A)\varphi(B)=\varphi(B)\varphi(A)\). Let \(N(F)\) be the space of strictly upper triangular \((n+1)\times(n+1)\) matrices over \(F\). It is shown that for \(n\geq 3\) a linear map \(\varphi\) on \(N(F)\) preserves commutativity in both directions iff \(\varphi=\varphi'+f\) where \(\varphi'\) is a product of standard maps on \(N(F)\) and \(f\) is a linear map on \(N(F)\) into its center.
