Let K be a (commutative) field and n be a positive integer. Consider the K-algebra E = Mat (n, K) of all n X n matrices over K, and the corresponding general linear group GL(n, K). We shall define the set R of rigid mappings of E to consist of all a in GLK(E) which can be written in one of two possible forms: either xσ= axb for all x ϵ E or xσ = ax'b for all x ϵ E (where a and b are fixed elements of GL(n, K) and x’ denotes the transpose of x).
