Isometries between spaces of metrics
Abstract
Given a metrizable space , denote by the space of continuous bounded pseudometrics on , and denote by the one of continuous bounded admissible metrics on , the both of which are equipped with the sup-norm . Let be the subspace of satisfying the following: \begin{itemize} \item for every , there exists a compact subset such that if , then . \end{itemize} Moreover, set and let be or . In this paper, we shall prove the Banach-Stone type theorem on spaces of metrics, that is, for metrizable spaces and , the following are equivalent: \begin{enumerate} \item and are homeomorphic; \item there exists a surjective isometry with ; \item there exists a surjective isometry with ; \item there exists a surjective isometry . \end{enumerate} Then for each surjective isometry with , there is a homeomorphism such that for any and for any , . Except for the case where the cardinality of or is equal to , the homeomorphism can be chosen uniquely.
