We describe all surjective isometries between open subgroups of the groups of invertible elements in unital C*-algebras. As a consequence the two C*-algebras are Jordan *-isomorphic if and only if the groups of invertible elements in those C*-algebras are isometric as metric spaces.
We study isometries between spaces of weighted holomorphic functions. We show that such isometries have a canonical form determined by a group of homeomorphisms of a distinguished subset of the range and domain. A number of invariants for these isometries are determined. For specific families of weights we classify the form isometries can take.
A characterization of isometries of complex Musielak-Orlicz spaces is given. If is not a Hilbert space and is a surjective isometry, then there exist a regular set isomorphism τ from (T,Σ,μ) onto itself and a measurable function w such that U(f) = w ·(f ∘ τ) for all . Isometries of real Nakano spaces, a particular case of Musielak-Orlicz spaces, are also studied.
We improve the Mazur-Ulam theorem by relaxing the surjectivity condition.
Linear isometries of N p(D) onto N p(D) are described, where N p(D), p > 1, is the set of all holomorphic functions f on the upper half plane D = {z ∈ ℂ: Im z > 0} such that supy>0 ∫ℝ lnp (1 + |(x + iy)|) dx < +∞. Our result is an improvement of the results by D.A. Efimov.
We give a complete description of the structure of surjective isometries between the unitary groups of unital C*-algebras. While any surjective isometry between the unitary groups of von Neumann algebras can be extended to a real-linear Jordan *-isomorphism between the relevant von Neumann algebras, this is not the case for general unital C*-algebras. We show that the unitary groups of two C*-algebras are isomorphic as metric groups if and only if the C*-algebras are isomorphic in the sense that...
Let and be a Banach space and a real Banach lattice, respectively, and let denote an infinite set. We give concise proofs of the following results: (1) The dual space contains an isometric copy of iff contains an isometric copy of , and (2) contains a lattice-isometric copy of iff contains a lattice-isometric copy of .
It is proved, using so-called multirectangular invariants, that the condition αβ = α̃β̃ is sufficient for the isomorphism of the spaces and . This solves a problem posed in [14, 15, 1]. Notice that the necessity has been proved earlier in [14].
