Abstract
We complete characterization of bijections preserving commutators (PC-maps) in the group of unitriangular matrices over a field , where is a natural number or infinity. PC-maps were recently described up to almost identity PC-maps by M.Chen, D.Wang, and H.Zhai (2011) for finite and by R.Slowik (2013) for . An almost identity map is a map, preserving elementary transvections. We show that an almost identity PC-map is a multiplication by a central element. In particular, if , then an almost identity map is identity. Together with the result of R.Slowik this shows that any PC-map of is an automorphism.
