Abstract: Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${mathcalG}_k(H)$ be the Grassmannian formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of $H$. Suppose that $dimH>2k$ and $f$ is an orthogonality preserving injective transformation of ${mathcalG}_k(H)$, i.e. for any orthogonal $X,Yin{mathcalG}_k(H)$ the images $f(X),f(Y)$ are orthogonal. If $dimH=n$ is finite, then $n=mk+i$ for some integers $mge2$ and $iin0,1,dots,k-1$ (for $i=0$ we have $mge3$). We show that $f$ is a bijection induced by a unitary or anti-unitary operator if $iin0,1,2,3$ or $mgei+1ge5$; in particular, the statement holds for $kin1,2,3,4$ and, if $kge5$, then there are precisely $(k-4)(k-3)/2$ values of $n$ such that the above condition is not satisfied. As an application, we obtain a result concerning the case when $H$ is infinite-dimensional.
