LINEAR RANK PRESERVERS ON INFINITE TRIANGULAR MATRICES

We consider ${\mathcal{T}}_{\infty}(F)$ - the space of all innite upper triangular matrices over a eld F. We give a description of all linear maps that satisfy the property: if rank(x) = 1, then $rank({\phi}(x))=1$ for all $x{\in}{\mathcal{T}}_{\infty}(F)$. Moreover, we characterize all injective linear maps on ${\mathcal{T}}_{\infty}(F)$ such that if rank(x) = k, then $rank({\phi}(x))=k$.
