Abstract:
It is proved that any mapping of an -dimensional affine space over a division ring onto itself which maps every line into a line is semi-affine, if and . This result seems to be new even for the real affine spaces. Some further generalizations are also given. The paper is self-contained, modulo some basic terms and elementary facts concerning linear spaces and also - if the reader is interested in other than , , or - division rings.
