Abstract

Let 2≤k≤n be integers and Matn(F) be the linear space of n×n matrices over a field F of characteristic different from 2. Denote by Γ≥k the set of matrices in Matn(F) of rank greater than or equal to k. The main goal of the present paper is to obtain a characterization of additive maps f:Matn(F)→Matn(F) satisfying f(Γ≥k)=Γ≥k with either n<2k−2 or F has characteristic char(F)=0 or char(F)≥k.
