Abstract

Let EE and FF be two Hilbert CC^*-modules over CC^*-algebras AA and BB, respectively. Let TT be a surjective linear isometry from EE onto FF and φ\varphi a map from AA into BB. We will prove in this paper that if the CC^*-algebras AA and BB are commutative, then TT preserves the inner products and TT is a module map, i.e., there exists a *-isomorphism φ\varphi between the CC^*-algebras such that Tx,Ty=φ(x,y), \langle Tx,Ty\rangle=\varphi(\langle x,y\rangle), and T(xa)=T(x)φ(a). T(xa)=T(x)\varphi(a). In case AA or BB is noncommutative CC^*-algebra, TT may not satisfy the equations above in general. We will also give some condition such that TT preserves the inner products and TT is a module map.
