Lipschitz spectrum preserving mappings on algebras of matrices (Q1347220)

The author considers Lipschitz mappings \(T : M_ n (\mathbb{C}) \to M_ n (\mathbb{C})\) satisfying \(T(0) = 0\) and \(\sigma (T(A) - T(B)) \subset \sigma (A - B)\), for all \(A,B \in M_ n (\mathbb{C})\), where \(\sigma (C)\) is the spectrum of a matrix \(C\). It is shown that either \(T(A) = UAU^{-1}\) for all matrices \(A \in M_ n (\mathbb{C})\) or \(T(A) = UA^ t U^{-1}\) for all \(A\).
