Exercise 17, § 9

Algebra, II, 416

Let VV be a vector space of finite dimension nn over a field KK, (ei)1≤i≤n(e_i)_{1 \leq i \leq n} a basis of VV, K′K' a subfield of KK and V′V' the nn-dimensional vector space over K′K' generated by the eie_i. Give an example of an injective mapping of V′V' into VV, mapping any three points on a straight line of the affine space V′V' to three points on a straight line in the affine space VV, but not necessarily mapping two parallel lines to sets contained in two parallel lines. (Embed VV in the projective space EE canonically associated with it and consider a projective transformation uu of EE into itself such that the inverse image under uu of the hyperplane at infinity is distinct from this hyperplane and contains no point of V′V'; for example KK can be taken to be infinite and K′K' finite.)
