Two vectors $x,y$ of a Banach space are said to form a parallel (resp. triangle equality attaining or TEA) pair if $\|x+\lambda y\|=\|x\|+\|y\|$ holds for some scalar $\lambda$ with $|\lambda|=1$ (resp. $\lambda=1$). For $p\in…

Two vectors $x, y$ in a normed vector space are parallel if there is a scalar $\mu$ with $|\mu| = 1$ such that $\|x+\mu y\| = \|x\| + \|y\|$; they form a triangle equality attaining (TEA) pair if $\|x+y\| = \|x\| + \|y\|$. In this paper, we…

Let $1 \leq k < n$ be integers. Two $n \times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ form a parallel pair with respect to the $k$-numerical radius $w_k$ if $w_k(A + \mu B) = w_k(A) + w_k(B)$ for some scalar $\mu$ with $|\mu| = 1$; they form a TEA…

Let $m,n\ge 2$ be integers. Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $\|\cdot\|_{(p,k)}$ be the $(p,k)$ norm on $M_{mn}$ with $1\leq k\leq mn$ and $2<p<\infty$. We show that a linear map $\phi:M_{mn}\rightarrow M_{mn}$…

Let $M_{m,n}$ be the space of $m\times n$ real or complex rectangular matrices. Two matrices $A, B \in M_{m,n}$ are disjoint if $A^*B = 0_n$ and $AB^* = 0_m$. In this paper, a characterization is given for linear maps $\Phi: M_{m,n}…

Two bounded linear operators $A$ and $B$ are parallel with respect to a norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|A+\mu B\| = \|A\| + \|B\|$ for some scalar $\mu$ with $|\mu| = 1$. Characterization is obtained for bijective linear maps sending parallel…

We prove the linearity and injectivity of two maps $\phi_1$ and $\phi_2$ on certain subsets of $M_n$ that satisfy $\operatorname{tr}(\phi_1(A)\phi_2(B))=\operatorname{tr}(AB)$. We apply it to characterize maps $\phi_i:\mathcal{S}\to…

For a positive integer $n$, let $M_n$ be the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Suppose $\|\cdot\|$ is the Ky Fan $k$-norm with $1 \le k \le mn$ or the Schatten $p$-norm with $1 \le p \le \infty$ ($p\ne 2$) on $M_{mn}$, where $m,n\ge 2$…

Let $\cal A$ and $\cal B$ be Banach algebras. A linear map $T:{\cal A} \rightarrow {\cal B}$ is called separating or disjointness preserving if $ab=0$ implies $Ta\;Tb = 0$ for all $a,b\in {\cal A}$. In this paper, we study a new class of…

In this paper a complete description of the linear maps $\phi:W_{n}\rightarrow W_{n}$ that preserve the Lorentz spectrum is given when $n=2$ and $W_{n}$ is the space $M_{n}$ of $n\times n$ real matrices or the subspace $S_{n}$ of $M_{n}$…

Bhat characterizes the family of linear maps defined on $B(\mathcal{H})$ which preserve unitary conjugation. We generalize this idea and study the maps with a similar equivariance property on finite-dimensional matrix algebras. We show that…

The fundamental theorem of geometry of rectangular matrices describes the general form of bijective maps on the space of all $m\times n$ matrices over a division ring $\mathbb{D}$ which preserve adjacency in both directions. This result…

Let ${\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F})$ be the algebra of $n\times n$ matrices over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We consider linear maps $\Phi: {\bf M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \rightarrow {\bf M}_r(\mathbb{F})$ preserving matrices annihilated by a fixed…

In order to generalize the results of Mazur-Ulam and Vogt, we shall prove that any map T which preserves equality of distance with T(0)=0 between two F-spaces without surjective condition is linear. Then, as a special case linear isometries…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the space of all $n \times n$ real symmetric matrices. For n=2 or n>2 we characterize maps F from $S_{n}$ to $S_{m}$ which preserve adjacency, i.e. if rank(A-B)=1, then rank(F(A)-F(B))=1.

For a positive integer $n$ let $\mathcal{X}_n$ be either the algebra $M_n$ of $n \times n$ complex matrices, the set $N_n$ of all $n \times n$ normal matrices, or any of the matrix Lie groups $\mathrm{GL}(n)$, $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ and…

An $n \times n$ matrix $A$ with real entries is said to be Schur stable if all the eigenvalues of $A$ are inside the open unit disc. We investigate the structure of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{R})$ that preserve the collection $\mathcal{S}$…

In this paper, we give some characterizations of orthogonality preserving mappings between inner product spaces. Furthermore, we study the linear mappings that preserve some angles. One of our main results states that if $\mathcal{X},…

We determine the structure of linear maps on the tensor product of matrices which preserve the numerical range or numerical radius.

We investigate linear maps between matrix algebras that remain positive under tensor powers, i.e., under tensoring with $n$ copies of themselves. Completely positive and completely co-positive maps are trivial examples of this kind. We show…
