On bijections that preserve complementarity of subspaces

Abstract

The set GG of all mm-dimensional subspaces of a 2m2m-dimensional vector space VV is endowed with two relations, complementarity and adjacency. We consider bijections from GG onto GG', where GG' arises from a 2m2m'-dimensional vector space VV'. If such a bijection ϕ\phi and its inverse leave one of the relations from above invariant, then also the other. In case m2m\geq 2 this yields that ϕ\phi is induced by a semilinear bijection from VV or from the dual space of VV onto VV'. As far as possible, we include also the infinite-dimensional case into our considerations.
