Base subsets in symplectic Grassmannians of small indices (Q817167)

For \(n\)-dimensional vector spaces \(V\) and \(V'\) and non-degenerate symplectic forms \(\Omega\) and \(\Omega'\) on \(V\) and \(V'\), respectively, let \({\mathcal G}_{k}(\Omega)\) and \({\mathcal G}_{k}(\Omega')\) be the sets of \(k\)-dimensional totally isotropic subspaces of the projective spaces \(\Pi\) and \(\Pi'\) associated to \(V\) and \(V'\). For any symplectic base \(B\) of \(\Pi\) the set of all elements of \({\mathcal G}_ {k}(\Omega)\) spanned by elements of \(B\) is defined to be the base subset of \({\mathcal G}_{k}(\Omega)\) associated with \(B\). The author proves that for \(3k + 3 \leq n\) any map \(f : {\mathcal G}_{k} (\Omega) \to {\mathcal G}_{k}(\Omega')\) which preserves base subsets is induced by a strong embedding of \(\Pi\) into \(\Pi'\).
