ON THE EXTENSION OF ISOMETRIES BETWEEN THE UNIT SPHERES OF A -TRIPLE AND A BANACH SPACE

Abstract

AbstractWe prove that if $M$ is a $\text{JBW}^{\ast }$-triple and not a Cartan factor of rank two, then $M$ satisfies the Mazur–Ulam property, that is, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of $M$ onto the unit sphere of another real Banach space $Y$ extends to a surjective real linear isometry from $M$ onto $Y$.
