ON THE TRIPOTENT PRESERVING MAPS OF 2 ? 2 MATRIX ALGEBRAS
Let F be an arbitrary field of characteristic Char F different from 2 and 3. Let
be the
matrix algebra over F, and T be the set of all tripotents. We use
to denote the set of all injective maps of
to itself such that if
then
for all
In this paper, we prove that
