Linear maps preserving the higher numerical ranges of tensor products of matrices.

For a positive integer, letbe the set ofcomplex matrices. Supposeare positive integers and. Denote bythe-numerical range of a matrix. It is shown that a linear mapsatisfiesfor allandif and only if there is a unitarysuch that one of the following holds.   For all , ,     and for all , ,where (1)is the identity mapor the transposition map, or (2)andhas the formor.
