Isometries between groups of invertible elements in C*-algebras

Osamu Hatori, Keiichi Watanabe (2012)

Studia Mathematica

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.

Isometries of the unitary groups in C*-algebras

Osamu Hatori (2014)

Studia Mathematica

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...
