Abstract

Let 1k<n1 \leq k < n be integers. Two n×nn \times n matrices AA and BB form a parallel pair with respect to the kk-numerical radius wkw_k if wk(A+μB)=wk(A)+wk(B)w_k(A + \mu B) = w_k(A) + w_k(B) for some scalar μ\mu with μ=1|\mu| = 1; they form a TEA (triangle equality attaining) pair if the preceding equation holds for μ=1\mu = 1. We classify linear bijections on Mn\mathbb M_n and on Hn\mathbb H_n which preserve parallel pairs or TEA pairs. Such preservers are scalar multiples of wkw_k-isometries, except for some exceptional maps on Hn\mathbb H_n when n=2kn=2k.
