Abstract

In this paper, we characterize the automorphisms of the total graph for the ring Mn of matrices of order n≥2 over any field with at least 3 elements. To do this, we apply the technique of maps preserving matrix invariants; in particular, as an intermediate step, we characterize pairs of surjective maps φ12:Mn→Mn such that A+B is singular if and only if φ1(A)+φ2(B) is singular.
