Maps Preserving Complementarity of Closed Subspaces of a Hilbert Space

Abstract

AbstractLet and be infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces and Lat the lattice of all closed subspaces oh . We describe the general form of pairs of bijective maps ϕ, Ψ : Lat → Lat having the property that for every pair U, V ∊ Lat we have . Then we reformulate this theorem as a description of bijective image equality and kernel equality preserving maps acting on bounded linear idempotent operators. Several known structural results for maps on idempotents are easy consequences.
