Abstract: Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space and let ${mathcalF}_s(H)$ be the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank operators on $H$. We prove the following non-injective version of Wigner's theorem: every linear operator on ${mathcalF}_s(H)$ sending rank one projections to rank one projections (without any additional assumption) is either induced by a linear or conjugate-linear isometry or constant on the set of rank one projections.
