Let Ψ : ⨂ i = 1 d H n i → ⨂ i = 1 d H n i be a linear map on the Kronecker product of spaces of Hermitian matrices H n i of size n i ≥ 3. (If d=1, we identify ⨂ i = 1 d H n i with H n 1 .) We establish a condition under which Ψ adj ⨂ i = 1 d A i = adj Ψ ⨂ i = 1 d A i if and only if det Ψ ⨂ i = 1 d A i = det ⨂ i = 1 d A i for all ⨂ i = 1 d A i ∈ ⨂ i = 1 d H n i . Then for d ∈ { 1 , 2 } , we apply this fact to characterize maps Ψ : ⨂ i = 1 d H n i → ⨂ i = 1 d H n i such that Ψ adj ⨂ i = 1 d A i = adj Ψ ⨂ i = 1 d A i ⨂ i = 1 d with some mild conditions.
