| Summary: | Let F be a ring with identity and let n ⩾ 2 be an integer. Denote by Tn(F) the ring of n_n
upper triangular matrices over F with centre Z(Tn(F)) and unity In. Let 1 ⩽ i ⩽ j ⩽ n
be integers and let Eij 2 Tn(F) denote the standard matrix unit whose (i, j)th entry is one
and zero elsewhere. In this thesis, the following results have been obtained:
Let 1 < k ⩽ n be an integer and let F be a field. We characterise commuting additive maps
ψ : Tn(F) ! Tn(F) on rank k matrices, i.e., additive maps ψ satisfying ψ(A)A = Aψ(A)
for all rank k matrices A 2 Tn(F) and show that
• when either k < n or jFj ⩾ 3, there exist λ, α 2 F and an additive map μ : Tn(F) !
F such that
ψ(A) = λA + μ(A)In + α(a11 + ann)E1n
for all A = (aij) 2 Tn(F), where α 6= 0 only if k = n and jFj = 3,
• when k = n ⩾ 4 and jFj = 2, there exist λ, α, β1, β2 2 F, H,K 2 Tn(F) and
X1, . . . ,Xn 2 Tn(F) satisfying X1 + _ _ _ + Xn = 0 such that
ψ(A) = λA + tr (HtA)In + tr (KtA)E1n + Ψα,β1,β2(A) +

for all A = (aij) 2 Tn(F), where tr (A) and At are the trace and the transpose of A
respectively, and Ψα,β1,β2 : Tn(F) ! Tn(F) is the additive map defined by
Ψα,β1,β2(A) = (αa12 + β1(an−1,n + ann))E1,n−1 + (αan−1,n + β2(a11 + a12))E2n
for all A = (aij) 2 Tn(F),

• when k = n = 3 and jFj = 2, there exist λ, α, β, γ 2 F, H,K 2 T3(F) and
X1,X2,X3 2 T3(F) satisfying X1 + X2 + X3 = 0 such that
ψ(A) = λA + tr (HtA)I3 + tr (KtA)E13 + Ψα,β(A) + Φγ(A) +

aiiXi
for all A = (aij) 2 T3(F), where Ψα,β : T3(F) ! T3(F) and Φγ : T3(F) ! T3(F)
are the additive maps defined by
Ψα,β(A) = α(a23 + a33)E12 + β(a11 + a12)E23,
Φγ(A) = γ((a12 + a22)E22 + (a11 + a12 + a23 + a33)E33 + a13(E12 + E23))
for all A = (aij) 2 T3(F), and
• when k = n = 2 and jFj = 2, there exist λ1, λ2 2 F and X1,X2 2 T2(F) such that
ψ(A) = (a11 + a12)X1 + (a22 + a12)X2 + λ1a12I2 + λ2a12E12
for all A = (aij) 2 T2(F).
Let F be a division ring. We classify centralizing additive maps ψ : Tn(F) ! Tn(F) on rank one matrices, i.e., additive maps ψ satisfying ψ(A)A |
