    Let VV and Vβ€²V' be vector spaces of dimension nn and nβ€²n', respectively. Let k∈{2,...,nβˆ’2}k\in\{2,...,n-2\} and kβ€²βˆˆ{2,...,nβ€²βˆ’2}k'\in\{2,...,n'-2\}. We describe all isometric and ll-rigid isometric embeddings of the Grassmann graph Ξ“k(V)\Gamma_{k}(V) in the Grassmann graph Ξ“kβ€²(Vβ€²)\Gamma_{k'}(V')

    Let VV and Vβ€²V' be vector spaces over division rings (possible infinite-dimensional) and let P(V){\mathcal P}(V) and P(Vβ€²){\mathcal P}(V') be the associated projective spaces. We say that f:P(V)β†’P(Vβ€²)f:{\mathcal P}(V)\to {\mathcal P}(V') is a PGL-{\it mapping} if for every h∈PGL(V)h\in {\rm PGL}(V) there exists hβ€²βˆˆPGL(Vβ€²)h'\in {\rm PGL}(V') such that fh=hβ€²ffh=h'f. We show that for every PGL-bijection the inverse mapping is a semicollineation. Also, we obtain an analogue of this result for the projective spaces associated to normed spaces
