Let A and B be two Banach function algebras on locally compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y , respectively. Let T be a multiplicatively range-preserving map from A onto B in the senseWe define equivalence relations on appropriate subsets X and Y of X and Y , respectively, and show that T induces a homeomorphism between the quotient spaces of X and Y by these equivalence relations. In particular, if all points in the Choquet boundaries of A and B are strong boundary points, then X and Y are equal to the Choquet boundaries of A and B, respectively, and moreover, there exist a continuous function h on the Choquet boundary of B taking its values in {−1, 1} and a homeomorphism ϕ from the Choquet boundary of B onto the Choquet boundary of A such that T f (y) = h( y) f (ϕ(y)) for all f ∈ A and y in the Choquet boundary of B. For certain Banach function algebras A and B on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y , respectively, we can weaken the surjectivity assumption and give a representation for maps belonging 2-locally to the family of all multiplicatively range-preserving maps from A onto B.
In this paper we first consider a real-linear isometry T from a certain subspace A of C (X ) (endowed with supremum norm) into C (Y ) where X and Y are compact Hausdorff spaces and give a result concerning the description of T whenever A is a uniform algebra on X . The result is improved for the case where T (A) is, in addition, a complex subspace of C (Y ). We also give a similar description for the case where A is a function space on X and the range of T is a real subspace of C (Y ) satisfying a ceratin separating property. Next similar results are obtained for real-linear isometries between spaces of Lipschitz functions on compact metric spaces endowed with a certain complete norm.

Let A and B be Banach function algebras on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y and let ‖.‖X and ‖.‖Y denote the supremum norms on X and Y, respectively. We first establish a result concerning a surjective map T between particular subsets of the uniform closures of A and B, preserving multiplicatively the norm, i.e. ‖Tf Tg‖Y = ‖fg‖X, for certain elements f and g in the domain. Then we show that if α ∈ ℂ {0} and T: A → B is a surjective, not necessarily linear, map satisfying ‖fg + α‖X = ‖Tf Tg + α‖Y, f,g ∈ A, then T is injective and there exist a homeomorphism φ: c(B) → c(A) between the Choquet boundaries of B and A, an invertible element η ∈ B with η(Y) ⊆ {1, −1} and a clopen subset K of c(B) such that for each f ∈ A, $$
Tf\left( y \right) = \left\{ \begin{gathered}
\eta \left( y \right)f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right) y \in K, \hfill \\
- \frac{\alpha }
{{\left| \alpha \right|}}\eta \left( y \right)\overline {f\left( {\phi \left( y \right)} \right)} y \in c\left( B \right)\backslash K \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \right.
$$. In particular, if T satisfies the stronger condition R
π(fg + α) = R
π(Tf Tg + α), where R
π(.) denotes the peripheral range of algebra elements, then Tf(y) = T1(y)f(φ(y)), y ∈ c(B), for some homeomorphism φ: c(B) → c(A). At the end of the paper, we consider the case where X and Y are locally compact Hausdorff spaces and show that if A and B are Banach function algebras on X and Y, respectively, then every surjective map T: A → B satisfying ‖Tf Tg‖Y = ‖fg‖, f, g ∈ A, induces a homeomorphism between quotient spaces of particular subsets of X and Y by some equivalence relations.
