Real-linear isometries between function algebras
Let A and B be uniformly closed function algebras on locally compact Hausdorff spaces with Choquet boundaries Ch A and ChB, respectively. We prove that if T: A → B is a surjective real-linear isometry, then there exist a continuous function κ: ChB → z ∈ ℂ: |z| = 1, a (possibly empty) closed and open subset K of ChB and a homeomorphism φ: ChB → ChA such that T(f) = κ(f ∘φ) on K and on ChB K for all f ∈ A. Such a representation holds for surjective real-linear isometries between (not necessarily...
