Theorem 1.1
Let ${\mathbb F}$ be a field with at least three elements and $m,n$ integers with $m\ge n \ge 2$. Assume that $\phi : M_{m,n} \to M_{m,n}$ is a bijective map such that for every pair $A,B \in M_{m,n}$ we have $A\mathbin{\triangle} B$ if and only if $\phi (A) \mathbin{\triangle} \phi (B)$. Then the for every $A\in M_{m,n}$. If $m=n$, then we have the additional possibility that where $T,S,R \in
