Abstract

In this note we generalize the well-known Wigner's unitary-anti\-unitary theorem. For XX and YY smooth normed spaces and f:XYf:X\to Y a surjective mapping such that [f(x),f(y)]=[x,y]|[f(x),f(y)]|=|[x,y]|, x,yXx,y\in X, where [,][\cdot,\cdot] is the unique semi-inner product, we show that ff is phase equivalent to either a linear or an anti-linear surjective isometry. When XX and YY are smooth real normed spaces and YY strictly convex, we show that Wigner's theorem is equivalent to {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.
