Abstract

Let Mn denote the set of all n×n matrices over the complex numbers (n≥ 2). Let AnMn be either the set of all invertible matrices, the set of all unitary matrices, or a multiplicative semigroup containing the singular matrices. Theorem: If φ : AnMn is a spectrum-preserving multiplicative map, then there exists a matrix R in Mn such that φ(S) = R−1SR for all S in An.
