A set of pairs of points of a metric space is referred to as a `base' if any mapping preserving the distances of those pairs is already an isometry. The author starts with a theorem due to F. S. Beckman and D. A. Quarles saying that the set of pairs with distance \(d=1\) is such a base in the Euclidean space \(E^n\) of dimension \(n>1\). The theorem which this paper is about shows the existence of some particular bases of \(E^n\) meeting certain additional conditions (which cannot be cited here in detail). A similar theorem holds for Lobachevskii spaces. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0942.00019].
