Isometries between groups of invertible elements in Banach algebras

Functional Analysis 2009-04-15 v1

Abstract

We show that if TT is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the group of the invertible elements in a unital semisimple commutative Banach algebra onto an open subgroup of the group of the invertible elements in a unital Banach algebra, then T(1)1TT(1)^{-1}T is an isometrical group isomorphism. In particular, T(1)1TT(1)^{-1}T is extended to an isometrical real algebra isomorphism from AA onto BB.
