MathlibAnnex.IsometryEquiv.existsUnique_affineExtension_ball

Derives the open-ball form of the Mankiewicz extension theorem from the open-connected-domain theorem.

Statement

Let f be a surjective isometry from the open ball ball(c,r) onto the open ball ball(d,R) in real normed spaces, where r>0 and R>0; the two radii need not be equal. Then there is a unique ambient real affine isometry equivalence A such that A(x)=f(x) for every x in the source ball.

Assumptions

Real normed vector spaces; f is an isometry equivalence between open balls with radii r > 0 and R > 0.

Conclusion

f extends uniquely to an ambient real affine isometry equivalence. The two positive radii need not be assumed equal.

Proof route

Both balls are open, and the source ball is connected because its radius is positive. These facts put the isometry directly within the scope of the open-connected extension theorem.

Proof steps
  1. Use positivity of R to record connectedness of the target ball; this fact is available but is not an additional hypothesis of the invoked extension theorem.
  2. Apply the open-connected extension theorem with the openness of both balls and the connectedness of the source ball.
  3. The existence, pointwise agreement, and uniqueness clauses are exactly those returned by that theorem.
