Part of the rich contents of this paper is a functional equation characterization of the hyperbolic distance. Among other results offered we mention the equation \(H(X)=O(X) T(e) O(X)\), where \(X\) is a pre-Hilbert space, \(H(X)\) the hyperbolic group of \(X,\) \(O(X)\) is the group of all orthogonal mappings of \(X,\) and \(T(e)\) the group of all hyperbolic translations with axis \(e\).
