Abstract

We say that a mapping f:XYf: X \rightarrow Y between two real normed spaces is a phase-isometry if it satisfies the functional equation \begin{eqnarray*} \{\|f(x)+f(y)\|, \|f(x)-f(y)\|\}=\{\|x+y\|, \|x-y\|\} \quad (x,y\in X).\end{eqnarray*} A generalized Mazur-Ulam question is whether every surjective phase-isometry is a multiplication of a linear isometry and a map with range {1,1}\{-1, 1\}. This assertion is also an extension of a fundamental statement in the mathematical description of quantum mechanics, Wigner's theorem to real normed spaces. In this paper, we show that for every space YY the problem is solved in positive way if XX is a smooth normed space, an L(Γ)\mathcal{L}^{\infty}(\Gamma)-type space or an 1(Γ)\ell^1(\Gamma)-space with Γ\Gamma being an index set.
