Abstract: Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space whose dimension is not less than $3$ and let ${mathcalF}_s(H)$ be the real vector space formed by all self-adjoint operators of finite rank on $H$. For every non-zero natural $k<dimH$ we denote by ${mathcalP}_k(H)$ the set of all rank $k$ projections. Let $H^{\prime }$ be other complex Hilbert space of dimension not less than $3$ and let $L:{mathcalF}_s(H)o{mathcalF}_s(H^{\prime })$ be a linear operator such that $L({mathcalP}_k(H))subset{mathcalP}_m(H^{\prime })$ for some natural $k,m$ and the restriction of $L$ to ${mathcalP}_k(H)$ is injective. If $H=H^{\prime }$ and $k=m$, then $L$ is induced by a linear or conjugate-linear isometry of $H$ to itself, except the case $dimH=2k$ when there is another one possibility (we get a classical Wigner's theorem if $k=m=1$). If $dimHge2k$, then $klem$. The main result describes all linear operators $L$ satisfying the above conditions under the assumptions that $H$ is infinite-dimensional and for any $P,Qin{mathcalP}_k(H)$ the dimension of the intersection of the images of $L(P)$ and $L(Q)$ is not less than $m-k$.
