Weak Linear Mappings -- A Survey

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: There are various concepts of structure preserving mappings in geometry. It is the aim of the present paper to give a survey on geometrical characterizations of some of those mappings. We discuss the results for projective spaces in some detail and report on generalizations to other spaces.


The author discusses collinearity preserving partially defined mappings \(\varphi:{\mathcal P}(U) \to {\mathcal P}(V)\) between projective spaces. A typical theorem says that \(\varphi\) is induced by an additive mapping \(f:U\to V\) of the underlying right vector spaces which satisfies \((xk)^f =x^fk^\zeta\) for some monomorphism \(\zeta\) of the ground fields (provided the image of \(\varphi\) contains a triangle). Related results on (partial) linear spaces, affine spaces, Grassmann spaces and products of projective spaces are briefly mentioned. There are 59 references. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0926.00024].
