Abstract

We characterize injective continuous maps on the space of real or complex rectangular matrices preserving adjacent pairs of matrices. We also extend Hua's fundamental theorem of the geometry of rectangular matrices to the infinite-dimensional case. An application in the theory of local automorphisms is presented.
