Let F be a field, Mn(F) be the vector space of all w-square matrices with entries in F and a subset of Mn(F). It is of interest to determine the structure of linear maps T : Mn(F)Mn(F) such that . For example: Let be GL(n, C), the group of all nonsingular n X n matrices over C [5]; the subset of all rank 1 matrices in MmXn(F) [4] (MmXn(F) is the vector space of all m X n matrices over F) ; the unitary group [2] ; or the set of all matrices X in Mn(F) such that det(X) = 0 [1]. Other results in this direction can be found in [3].
