Resumen:
The theory of Functional Identities (FI), introduced in Matej Brešar’s Ph.D. thesis, is rela
tively new. Since then, this theory has been developed through a series of papers in which he
studied some basic FIs, particularly those concerning the so-called commuting maps. This work
is divided into four chapters, where we study additive maps G: Mn(K) → Mn(K) that satisfy
the commuting property over some subset A of Mn(K), i.e., G(x)x = xG(x) for all x ∈ A. Such
mappings will be called “commuting mappings over A”. Our master’s thesis is based on results
from França in [8, 9] and from Xu and Zhu in [23]. Firstly, we present a description of commu
ting maps over invertible or singular matrices. As a generalization, we obtain the description of
m-additive maps G: Mn(K)m → Mn(K) whose trace T(x) = G(x,...,x) is commuting over the
same sets mentioned earlier. Finally, we exhibit an interesting result that states that if T(x) = 0
for all invertible matrices x, then T(Mn(K)) = 0 if one of the following holds: (1) char K = 0;
(2) char K > m; (3) char K = m and |K| ̸ = m; (4) |K| g 2m. As a consequence of this last
result, We provide an alternative proof for commuting traces of multiadditives on the subset of
invertible matrices.
