Abstract

For a domain Ω\Omega in the complex plane, we consider the domain Sn(Ω)S_n(\Omega) consisting of those n×nn\times n complex matrices whose spectrum is contained in Ω\Omega. Given a holomorphic self-map Ψ\Psi of Sn(Ω)S_n(\Omega) such that Ψ(A)=A\Psi(A)=A and the derivative of Ψ\Psi at AA is identity for some ASn(Ω)A\in S_n(\Omega), we investigate when the map Ψ\Psi would be spectrum-preserving. We prove that if the matrix AA is either diagonalizable or non-derogatory then for most domains Ω\Omega, Ψ\Psi is spectrum-preserving on Sn(Ω)S_n(\Omega). Further, when AA is arbitrary, we prove that Ψ\Psi is spectrum-preserving on a certain analytic subset of Sn(Ω)S_n(\Omega).
