Abstract

Let HH and KK be two complex inner product spaces with dim(X)2(X)\geq 2. We prove that for each non-zero additive mapping A:HKA:H \to K with dense image the following statements are equivalent: (a)(a) AA is (complex) linear or conjugate-linear mapping and there exists γ>0\gamma >0 such that A(x)=γx\| A (x) \| = \gamma \|x\|, for all xXx\in X, that is, AA is a positive scalar multiple of a linear or a conjugate-linear isometry; (b)(b) There exists γ1>0\gamma_1 >0 such that one of the next properties holds for all x,yHx,y \in H: (b.1)(b.1) A(x)A(y)=γ1xy,\langle A(x) |A(y)\rangle = \gamma_1 \langle x|y\rangle, (b.2)(b.2) A(x)A(y)=γ1yx;\langle A(x) |A(y)\rangle = \gamma_1 \langle y|x \rangle; (c)(c) AA is linear or conjugate-linear and preserves orthogonality in both directions; (d)(d) AA is linear or conjugate-linear and preserves orthogonality; (e)(e) AA is additive and preserves orthogonality in both directions; (f)(f) AA is additive and preserves orthogonality. This extends to the complex setting a recent generalization of the Koldobsky--Blanco--Turn\v{s}ek theorem obtained by W\'ojcik for real normed spaces.
