On the Mazur-Ulam property for the space of Hilbert-space-valued continuous functions (Q2320112): Difference between revisions

Let \(K\) be a compact Hausdorff space and let \(H\) be a real or complex Hilbert space with \(\hbox{dim}(H_{\mathbb R}) \geq 2\). The authors prove that the space \(C(K, H)\) of all \(H\)-valued continuous functions on \(K\), equipped with the supremum norm, satisfies the Mazur-Ulam property, that is, if \(Y\) is any real Banach space, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere of \(C(K, H)\) onto the unit sphere of \(Y\) admits a unique extension to a surjective real linear isometry from \(C(K, H)\) onto \(Y\). Their strategy relies on the \(C(K)\)-module structure of \(C(K, H)\) and several results in \(JB^{*}\)-triple theory. For this purpose, they determine the facial structure of the closed unit ball of a real \(JB^{*}\)-triple and its dual space.
