Description
Summary:We extend Liu's fundamental theorem of the geometry of alternate matrices to the second exterior power of an infinite dimensional vector space and also use her theorem to characterize surjective mappings T from the vector space V of all n x n alternate matrices over a field with at least three elements onto itself such that for any pair A,B in V,rank(A - B) <= 2k if and only if rank(T(A) - T(B)) <=2k, where k is a fixed positive integer such that n >= 2k + 2 and k >= 2.
