Wigner's theorem plays an important role in the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. This book provides a quick, accessible introduction to the geometric approach to Wigner-type theorems, unifying both classical and more recent results, and is suitable for graduate students as well as more experienced researchers.

Buildings are combinatorial constructions successfully exploited to study groups of various types. The vertex set of a building can be naturally decomposed into subsets called Grassmannians. The book contains results on Grassmannians of buildings of classical types.
