Let Mm(F) be the vector space of m-square matrices X — (Xij), i,j= 1, … , m over a field ƒ;ƒ a function on Mm(F) to some set R. It is of interest to determine the structure of the linear maps T: Mm(F) → Mm(F) that preserve the values of the function ƒ (i.e., ƒ(T(x)) — ƒ(x) for all X). For example, if we take ƒ(x) to be the rank of X, we are asking for a determination of the types of linear operations on matrices that preserve rank (6). Other classical invariants that may be taken for ƒ are the determinant, the set of eigenvalues, and the rth elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues.
