Abstract

Let HH be a separable real Hilbert space. Denote by G(H){\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H) the Grassmannian consisting of closed subspaces with infinite dimension and codimension. This Grassmannian is partially ordered by the inclusion relation. We show that every order preserving transformation of G(H){\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H) can be extended to an automorphism of the lattice of closed subspaces of HH. It follows from Mackey's result \cite{Mackey} that automorphisms of this lattice are induced by invertible bounded linear operators.
