linear extension of isometry; theorem of Banach and Mazur; Hilbert cube; Cantor set
Summary:
In this note, we prove that any “bounded” isometries of separable metric spaces can be represented as restrictions of linear isometries of function spaces $C(Q)$ and $C(\Delta)$, where $Q$ and $\Delta$ denote the Hilbert cube $[0,1]^{\infty}$ and a Cantor set, respectively.
