Abstract: Suppose a map phi on the set of positive definite matrices satisfies det(A+B)=det(phi(A)+phi(B)). Then we have { m tr}(AB^{-1}) = { m tr}(phi(A){phi(B)}^{-1}). Through this viewpoint, we show that phi is of the form phi(A)=MAM or phi(A)=MAtM for some invertible matrix M with det(MM)=1. We also characterize the map phi:mathcalSightarrowmathcalS preserving the determinant of convex combinations in mathcalS by using similar method. Here mathcalS can be the set of complex matrices, positive definite matrices, symmetric matrices, and upper triangular matrices.
