Abstract
The aim of this note is to give a precise definition of symmetry in quantum theory in order to generalize Wigner's representation theorem, in the framework of lattice theory and projective geometry. We do not require the concept of physical state; the results are valid for any field (division ring) used in the realization of the lattice of propositions. Physical systems with the most general superselection rules are included in the theory.Keywords
