We study linear preserver problems on the linear space of $n\times n$ Toeplitz matrices over the real field or the complex field. In particular, characterizations are given for linear preservers of rank one matrices and linear preservers of…

Linear maps preserving pure states of a quantum system of any dimension are characterized. This is then used to establish a structure theorem for linear maps that preserve separable pure states in multipartite systems. As an application, a…

Let ${\rm Mat}_n(\mathbb{F})$ denote the set of square $n\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic different from two. The permanental rank ${\rm prk}\,(A)$ of a matrix $A \in{\rm Mat}_{n}(\mathbb{F})$ is the size of…

In this paper first we describe all (not necessarily linear or bijective) transformations on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $2\leq d<\infty$ which preserve the area of parallelograms spanned by any two vectors. We also characterize those (not…

Two (real or complex) $m\times n$ matrices $A$ and $B$ are said to be parallel (resp. triangle equality attaining, or TEA in short) with respect to the spectral norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|A+ \mu B\| = \|A\| + \|B\|$ for some scalar $\mu$ with…

We determine the structure of linear maps on complex (real) square matrices sending unitary (orthogonal) matrices to multiples of unitary (orthogonal) matrices. The result is used to determine the linear preservers of matrix pairs…

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 $\mathcal{S}$…

We prove that the only entrywise transforms of rectangular matrices which preserve total positivity or total non-negativity are either constant or linear. This follows from an extended classification of preservers of these two properties…

We study directions along which the norms of vectors are preserved under a linear map. In particular, we find families of matrices for which these directions are determined by integer vectors. We consider the two-dimensional case in detail,…

Let $\mathcal H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal F_s (\mathcal H)$ the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank bounded operators on $\mathcal H$. We generalize the famous Wigner's theorem by characterizing linear maps on…

For some monoids, we give a method of composing invertibility preserving maps associated to "partial involutions." Also, we define the notion of "determinants for finite dimensional algebras over a field." As examples, we give invertibility…

We make two observations regarding the invertibility of Keller maps. i.e., polynomial maps for which the determinant of their Jacobian matrix is identically equal to 1. In our first result, we show that if P is a n-dimensional Keller map,…

A generalized definition of the determinant of matrices is given, which is compatible with the usual determinant for square matrices and keeps many important properties, such as being an alternating multilinear function, keeping…
