Let be a vector space of finite dimension over a field , a basis of , a subfield of and the -dimensional vector space over generated by the . Give an example of an injective mapping of into , mapping any three points on a straight line of the affine space to three points on a straight line in the affine space , but not necessarily mapping two parallel lines to sets contained in two parallel lines. (Embed in the projective space canonically associated with it and consider a projective transformation of into itself such that the inverse image under of the hyperplane at infinity is distinct from this hyperplane and contains no point of ; for example can be taken to be infinite and finite.)
