Symplectic Plücker transformations.
We show that a central linear mapping of a projectively embedded Euclidean -space onto a projectively embedded Euclidean -space is decomposable into a central projection followed by a similarity if, and only if, the least singular value of a certain matrix has multiplicity . This matrix is arising, by a simple manipulation, from a matrix describing the given mapping in terms of homogeneous Cartesian coordinates.
We characterize bijections on matrix spaces (operator algebras) preserving full rank (invertibility) of differences of matrix (operator) pairs in both directions.
