Abstract

Let XX and YY be real normed spaces and f ⁣:XYf \colon X\to Y a surjective mapping. Then ff satisfies {f(x)+f(y),f(x)f(y)}={x+y,xy}\{\|f(x)+f(y)\|, \|f(x)-f(y)\|\} = \{\|x+y\|, \|x-y\|\}, x,yXx,y\in X, if and only if ff is phase equivalent to a surjective linear isometry, that is, f=σUf=\sigma U, where U ⁣:XYU \colon X\to Y is a surjective linear isometry and σ ⁣:X{1,1}\sigma \colon X\to \{-1,1\}. This is a Wigner's type result for real normed spaces.
