A sufficient condition for a group of homeomorphisms to be affine
Jerry Goldstein has conjectured that a one-parameter group of homeomorphisms from a real Banach space X onto itself having a uniform Lipshitz constant might be topologically conjugate to a one-parameter group of affine transformations on X. The purpose of this note is to demonstrate that if an additional strong restriction is imposed on the homeomorphisms and if the space X is assumed to be finite-dimensional, then the conjecture is valid and the homeomorphisms in question are even affine. To prove this result, use is made of a remarkable theorem of \textit{Z. Charzyński} [Studia Math. 13, 94-121 (1953; Zbl 0051.085)]. Charzyński's Theorem asserts that all isometries from one finite- dimensional F-space onto another are affine. The theorem to be proved is the following: Theorem 1. Let X be a finite- dimensional real Banach space, and let \(\{f_ t:\) \(t\in R\}\) be a one- parameter group of homeomorphisms from X onto X with the property that there exists a constant M such that \((1)\quad \| f(x)-f(y)\| \leq M \| x-y\|\) for all x and y in X and all homeomorphisms f that are members of \(\{f_ t\}\) or compositions of members of \(\{f_ t\}\) with translations in the space X. Then each of the mappings \(f_ t\) is affine.
