Review text

The main result of the paper is: if each extreme point of the unit ball of the space of operators on a finite-dimensional normed linear space \(X\) is an isometry, then the space \(X\) is isometric to a Hilbert space (of the corresponding dimension). The converse statement is well-known. The proof is based on the fact that finite-dimensional spaces with transitive norms are Hilbertian.
