Abstract

The structure of a unital linear map on hermitian matrices with the property that it preserves the set of invertible hermitian matrices with fixed indefinite inertia is examined. It turns out that such a map is either a unitary similarity or a unitary similarity followed by a transposition (the case when the fixed inertia has equal number of positive and negative eigenvalues is excluded).
