We investigate surjective solutions of the functional equation $$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \{\Vert f(x)+f(y)\Vert ,\Vert f(x)-f(y)\Vert \}=\{\Vert x+y\Vert ,\Vert x-y\Vert \}\quad (x,y\in X), & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$ where $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is a map between two real ${\mathcal{L}}^{\infty }(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-type spaces. We show that all such solutions are phase equivalent to real linear isometries. This can be considered as an extension of Wigner’s theorem on symmetry for real ${\mathcal{L}}^{\infty }(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4})$-type spaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
