Preserve one, preserve all

Abstract

Isometries of metric spaces (X,d)(X,d) preserve all level sets of dd. We formulate and prove cases of a conjecture asserting if XX is a complete Riemannian manifold, then a function f:XXf:X \rightarrow X preserving at least one level set d1(r)d^{-1}(r), with r>0r>0 small enough, is an isometry.
