We prove that continuous spectrum- and commutativity-preserving maps to $\mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ from the space of normal (real or complex) $n\times n$, $n\ge 3$ matrices with spectra contained in a given continuous-injection interval…

Let $A$ and $B$ be unital semisimple commutative Banach algebras and $T$ a map from the invertible group $A^{-1}$ onto $B^{-1}$. Linearity and multiplicativity of the map are not assumed. We consider the hypotheses on $T$: (1) $\sigma…

For a symplectic twist map, we prove that there is a choice of weak K.A.M. solutions that depend in a continuous way on the cohomology class. We thus obtain a continuous function $u(\theta, c)$ in two variables: the angle $\theta$ and the…

In this paper first we give a partial answer to a question of L. Moln\'ar and W. Timmermann. Namely, we will describe those linear (not necessarily bijective) transformations on the set of self-adjoint matrices which preserve a unitarily…

We determine numerically the self-similarity maps for spectra of the almost Mathieu operators, a two-dimensional fractal-like structure known as the Hofstadter butterfly. The similarity maps each have a horizontal component determined by…

We classify $n\times n$-matrix-valued continuous commutativity and spectrum preservers defined on spaces of (a) normal, (b) semisimple and (c) arbitrary $n\times n$ matrices with spectra contained in sufficiently connected subsets…

The harmonic sawtooth map w(x) of the unit interval onto itself is defined where it is shown that its fixed points are enumerated by generating functions involving the golden ratio in their parameters. The appropriately scaled Mellin…

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…

Noether's theorem, which connects continuous symmetries to exact conservation laws, remains one of the most fundamental principles in physics and dynamical systems. In this work, we draw a conceptual parallel between two paradigms: the…

We study co--rotational wave maps from $(3+1)$--Minkowski space to the three--sphere $S^3$. It is known that there exists a countable family $\{f_n\}$ of self--similar solutions. We investigate their stability under linear perturbations by…

Maps that preserve adjacency on the set of all invertible hermitian matrices over a finite field are characterized. It is shown that such maps form a group that is generated by the maps $A\mapsto PAP^{\ast}$, $A\mapsto A^{\sigma}$, and…

In connection with Rokhlin's question on an automorphism with a homogeneous nonsimple spectrum, we indicate a class of measure-preserving maps $T$ such that $T\times T$ has a homogeneous spectrum of multiplicity 2. The automorphisms in…

Let $\mu$ be a self-similar measure generated by iterated function system of four maps of equal contraction ratio $0<\rho<1$. We study when $\mu$ is a spectral measure which means that it admits an exponential orthonormal basis $\{e^{2\pi i…

The variety of complete quadrics is the wonderful compactification of $GL_n/O_n$ and admits a cell decomposition into Borel orbits indexed by combinatorial objects called $\mu$-involutions. We study Coxeter-theoretic properties of…

We study surjective maps between the sets of all self-adjoint elements of unital $C^*$-algebras which satisfy the multiplicatively spectrum-preserving property. We show that such maps are characterized by Jordan isomorphisms and central…

Originating from spectral graph theory, cospectrality is a powerful generalization of exchange symmetry and can be applied to all real-valued symmetric matrices. Two vertices of an undirected graph with real edge weights are cospectral iff…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type $I_1$. Assume that $\Phi:{\mathcal M}\rightarrow {\mathcal M}$ is a surjective map. It is shown that $\Phi$ is strong skew commutativity preserving (that is,…

For a tuple $A= (A_0, A_1, \ldots , A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra $\mathcal{B}$, its \textit{projective (joint) spectrum} $p(A)$ is the collection of $z\in\mathbb{P}^{n}$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1 A_1 + \ldots z_n A_n$ is…

Let $I=[0,1]$ and consider disjoint closed regions $G_{1},....,G_{n}$ in $% I\times I$ and subintervals $I_{1},......,I_{n},$ such that $G_{i}$ projects onto $I_{i.}$ We define the lower and upper maps $\tau_{1},$ $\tau_{2}$ by the lower…

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 $M_{n}$…
