Abstract: Let ▫$H_n$▫ be the set of all ▫$n \times n$▫ hermitian matrices over ▫$\mathbb{C}$▫, ▫$n \ge 3$▫. It is said that ▫$A,B \in H_n$▫ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero ▫$\xi \in \mathbb{C}$▫ such that ▫$AB = \xi BA$▫ Bijective not necessarily linear maps on hermitian matrices which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions are classified.Keywords: mathematics, linear algebra, general preserver, hermitian matrices, quasi-commutativityPublished in RUP: 03.04.2017; Views: 2074; Downloads: 255 Link to full text
Abstract: Let ▫$H$▫ be a separable Hilbert space and▫ ${\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)▫$ the set of all bounded linear self-adjoint operators. We say that ▫$A, B \in {\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)$▫ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero ▫$\xi \in \mathbb{C}$▫ suchthat ▫$AB=\xi BA$▫. Bijective maps on ▫${\mathcal B}_{sa}(H)$▫ which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions are classified.Keywords: mathematics, linear algebra, general preserver, self-adjoint operator, quasi-commutativityPublished in RUP: 03.04.2017; Views: 2076; Downloads: 76 Link to full text
Abstract: Let ▫$M_n$▫ be the algebra of all ▫$n \times n$▫ matrices over ▫$\mathbb{C}$▫. We say that ▫$A, B \in M_n$▫ quasi-commute if there exists a nonzero ▫$\xi \in \mathbb{C}$▫ such that ▫$AB = \xi BA$▫. In the paper we classify bijective not necessarily linear maps ▫$\Phi \colon M_n \to M_n$▫ which preserve quasi-commutativity in both directions.Keywords: mathematics, linear algebra, general preserver, matrix algebra, quasi-commutativityPublished in RUP: 03.04.2017; Views: 2256; Downloads: 79 Link to full text
