Affine extension from equal-radius closed balls

MathlibAnnex.IsometryEquiv.existsUnique_affineExtension_closedBall

theorem

Recovers the centers, matches the interiors, and then extends across the boundary.

Statement

Let be real normed spaces, , , and . Write . Every bijective isometry extends uniquely to a surjective real affine isometry . The extension satisfies for every point of the source closed ball.

Assumptions

The source and target closed balls have the same positive radius . No completeness or finite dimensionality is assumed.

Conclusion

There is one and only one ambient affine isometry agreeing with the given on the entire closed ball, including its boundary.

Proof route

Use bounded reflection symmetry to send the centers to each other. The resulting distance-to-center identity verifies the interior equivalence required by the convex extension theorem.

Proof steps
  1. The centers belong to their balls since , and the source ball is bounded. Reflection through preserves its ball because , and similarly for ; see Center reflection preserves a closed ball. Apply Center transport by point reflection to these two balls and their centers to obtain .

  2. For every ,

    For a positive radius, the ambient interior of each closed ball is its corresponding open ball. Therefore

    The common radius is used in the middle equivalence.

  3. The source closed ball is convex and its interior contains . These facts and Step 2 verify Extension through a dense convex interior for the same . That theorem returns the unique ambient extension with agreement on the whole source set, so it includes the boundary points as well.
