A. D. Alexandrov's problem for non-positively curved spaces in the sense of Busemann (Q619479)

This paper is the last of a series devoted to the solution of the following Alexandrov's problem for non-positively curved spaces: Under which conditions, imposed on a given metric space \((X,d)\), every bijective mapping \(f:X\to X\) preserving together with its inverse \(f^{-1}\) a fixed distance \(r>0\), for example, \(r=1\), is an isometry? The author studies non-positively curved spaces in the sence of Busemann. It is proved that isometries of a geodesically complete connected at infinity proper Busemann space \(X\) are characterized as follows: If a bijection \(f:X\to X\) and its inverse \(f^{-1}\) preserve distance \(1\), then \(f\) is an isometry.
