Let \(T_{n\times n}\) be the set of upper triangular \(n\times n\) matrices over a field \(F\). The paper deals with linear preservers on \(T_{n\times n}\), which are \(F\)-linear maps \(\varphi: T_{n\times n}\to T_{n\times n}\) that preserve certain prescribed properties of matrices. For example, \(\varphi\) may preserve the rank of a matrix or commutativity, the latter meaning that, for all \(A,B\in T_{n\times n}\), \(AB=BA\) implies \(\varphi(A)\varphi(B)=\varphi(B)\varphi(A)\), etc. An introduction to the subject of linear preservers is given by \textit{C. K. Li} and \textit{N. K. Tsing} [Linear Algebra Appl. 162-164, 217-235 (1992; Zbl 0762.15016)]. The authors under review characterize bijective linear maps \(\varphi\) preserving rank-one matrices, rank-one idempotents, commutativity for \(n>2\), and obtain other results. Although their presentation is restricted to the case when \(F\) is the field of complex numbers, they point out that many of their statements hold in general. Similar results have been obtained by \textit{W. L. Chooi} and \textit{M. H. Lim} [Linear Algebra Appl. 269, 241-255 (1998; Zbl 0886.15004)].
