Geometric version of Wigner's theorem for Hilbert Grassmannians

Functional Analysis 2017-09-19 v3

Abstract

We show that the transformations of Grassmannians (of complex Hilbert spaces) induced by linear or conjugate-linear isometries can be characterized as transformations preserving some of principal angles (corresponding to the orthogonality, adjacency and ortho-adjacency relations).
