Preserving commutativity

From MaRDI portal





The problem of characteristic linear maps preserving commutativity is studied. The assumption of preserving commutativity can be reformulated as preserving zero Lie products. It is shown for a linear operator \(\theta:M_n\to M_r\) which preserves commutativity that either \(\text{Im}(\theta)\) is commutative or \(n=r\) and that there exist an invertible matrix \(A\in M_n\), a linear functional \(f\) on \(M_n\), and a nonzero scalar \(c\) such that \(\theta\) is of certain forms. The case \(n=3\) and the nilpotent case are dealt with.
