This establishes sufficient conditions on the growth of the function that defines the metric in terms of the seminorms to ensure that a linear operator preserving the metric also preserves each of these seminorms. As an application, characterizations are given of the isometries on various spaces including those of holomorphic functions on complex domains and continuous functions on open sets, extending the Banach--Stone theorem to surjective and nonsurjective cases.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-06-20T07:36:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "30H50", "46B04", "46E10", "47B33" ], "keywords": [ "fréchet spaces", "application", "establishes sufficient conditions", "linear isometries", "frechet spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
