Wigner’s Theorem in s* and sn(H) Spaces

Abstract

Wigner theorem is the cornerstone of the mathematical formula of quan-tum mechanics, it has promoted the research of basic theory of quantum mechanics. In this article, we give a certain pair of functional equations between two real spaces s or two real sn(H), that we called “phase isometry”. It is obtained that all such solutions are phase equivalent to real linear isometries in the space s and the space sn(H).

1. Introduction

Mazur and Ulam in [1] proved that every surjective isometry U between X and Y is a affine, also states that the mapping with U ( 0 ) = 0 , then U is linear. Let X and Y be normed spaces, if the mapping V : X → Y satisfying that

{ ‖ V ( x ) − V ( y ) ‖ } = { ‖ x − y ‖ }       ( x , y ∈ X ) .

It was called isometry. About it’s main properties in sequences spaces, Tingley, D, Ding Guanggui, Fu Xiaohong in [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] proved. So, we give a new definition that if there is a function ε : X → { − 1,1 } such that J = ε V is a linear isometry. we can say the mapping V : X → Y is phase equivalent to J.

If the two spaces are Hilbert spaces, Rätz proved that the phase isometries V : X → Y are precisely the solutions of functional equation in [7] . If the two spaces are not inner product spaces, Huang and Tan [8] gave a partial answer about the real atomic L p spaces with p > 0 . Jia and Tan [9] get the conclusion about the L -type spaces. In [6] , xiaohong Fu proved the problem of isometry extension in the s space detailedly.

In this artical, we mainly discuss that all mappings V : s → s or s n ( H ) → s n ( H ) also have the properties, that are solutions of the functional equation

{ ‖ V ( x ) − V ( y ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x ) + V ( y ) ‖ } = { ‖ x − y ‖ , ‖ x + y ‖ }       ( x , y ∈ X ) . (1)

All metric spaces mentioned in this artical are assumed to be real.

2. Results about s

First, let us introduction some concepts. The s space in [10] , which consists of all scalar sequences and for each elements x = { ξ k } = ∑ k   ξ k e k , the F-norm of x is defined by ‖ x ‖ = ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 k | ξ k | 1 + | ξ k | . Let s ( n ) denote the set of all elements of the form x = { ξ 1 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , ξ n } with ‖ x ‖ = ∑ k = 1 n 1 2 k | ξ k | 1 + | ξ k | . where e k = { ξ k ′ : ξ k = 1 , ξ k ′ = 0 , k ′ ≠ k , for   all   k ′ ∈ Γ } . We denote the support of x by Γ x , i.e.,

s u p p ( x ) = Γ x = { γ ∈ Γ : ξ γ ≠ 0 } .

For all x , y ∈ s , if Γ x ∩ Γ y = ∅ , we say that x is orthogonal to y and write x ⊥ y .

Lemma 2.1. Let S r 0 ( s ) be a sphere with radius r 0 and center 0 in s. Suppose that V 0 : S r 0 ( s ) → S r 0 ( s ) is a mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then for any x , y ∈ S r 0 ( s ) , we have

x ⊥ y ⇔ V 0 ( x ) ⊥ V 0 (y)

Proof: Necessity. Choosing ∀ x = { ξ n } , y = { η n } ∈ S r 0 ( s ) that satisfying x ⊥ y . We can suppose V 0 ( x ) = { ξ ′ n } , V 0 ( y ) = { η ′ n } . And we also have

{ ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ , ‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( y ) ‖ } = { ‖ x − y ‖ , ‖ x + y ‖ } .

So

‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ = 2 r 0 = ‖ V 0 ( x ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( y ) ‖

or

‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ x + y ‖ = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ = 2 r 0 = ‖ V 0 ( x ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( y ) ‖

Thus

∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | ξ ′ n − η ′ n | 1 + | ξ ′ n − η ′ n | = ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | ξ ′ n | 1 + | ξ ′ n | + ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | η ′ n | 1 + | η ′ n |

That means

∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n [ | ξ ′ n − η ′ n | 1 + | ξ ′ n − η ′ n | − | ξ ′ n | 1 + | ξ ′ n | − | η ′ n | 1 + | η ′ n | ] = 0 (2)

It is easy to know f ( x ) = x 1 + x is strictly increasing. And | ξ ′ n − η ′ n | ≤ | ξ ′ n | + | η ′ n | . We can get the result ξ ′ n ⋅ η ′ n = 0 .

For ‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( y ) ‖ , similarty to the above ( | ξ ′ n + η ′ n | ≤ | ξ ′ n | + | η ′ n | ) . It is V 0 ( x ) ⊥ V 0 ( y ) . Sufficiency. For V 0 ( x ) ⊥ V 0 ( y ) , that is, ξ ′ n ⋅ η ′ n = 0 , so (2) holds, and we have

‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( y ) ‖ = 2 r 0

so, it must have ‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ .

or

‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( y ) ‖ = 2 r 0

as the same ‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ . It follows that

∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | ξ n − η n | 1 + | ξ n − η n | = ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | ξ n | 1 + | ξ n | + ∑ n = 1 ∞ 1 2 n | η n | 1 + | η n | (3)

Similarly to the proof of necessity, we get x ⊥ y .

Lemma 2.2. Let S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) be a sphere with radius r 0 in the finite dimensional space s ( n ) , where r 0 < 1 2 n . Suppose that V 0 : S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) → S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) is an phase isometry. Let λ k = 2 k r 0 1 − 2 k r 0 ( k ∈ ℕ , 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) , then there is a unique real θ with | θ | = 1 , such that V 0 ( λ k e k ) = θ λ k e k .

Proof: We proof first that for any k ( 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) , there is a unique l ( 1 ≤ l ≤ n ) and a unique real θ with | θ | = 1 such that V 0 ( λ k e k ) = θ λ l e l (because the assumption of λ k implies λ k e k ∈ S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) ). To this end, suppose on the contrary that V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) = ∑ k = 1 n   η k e k and η k 1 ≠ 0, η k 2 ≠ 0 . In view of Lemma 1, we have

[ s u p p V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) ] ∩ [ s u p p V 0 ( λ k e k ) ] = ∅   ∀ k ≠ k 0 ,1 ≤ k ≤ n .

Hence, by the “pigeon nest principle” (or Pigeonhole principle) there must exist k i 0 ( 1 ≤ k i 0 ≤ n ) such that V 0 ( λ k i 0 e k i 0 ) = θ , which leads to a contradiction.

Next, if V 0 ( λ k e k ) = θ 1 λ l e l , V 0 ( − λ k e k ) = θ 2 λ p e p , where | θ 1 | = | θ 2 | = 1 , then l = p and θ 2 = − θ 1 . Indeed, if l ≠ p , we have

‖ V ( λ k e k ) − V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ = ‖ 2 λ k e k ‖ = 1 2 k | 2 λ k | 1 + | 2 λ k | ≠ 2 r 0

or

‖ V ( λ k e k ) − V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ = 0

and

‖ V ( λ k e k ) − V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ = ‖ θ 1 λ l e l − θ 2 λ p e p ‖ = 2 r 0 (4)

a contradiction which implies l = p . From this θ 1 = − θ 2 follows. Finally, there is a unique θ with | θ | = 1 such that V 0 ( λ k e k ) = θ λ k e k . Indeed, if V 0 ( λ k e k ) = θ λ l e l , by the result in the last step, we have V 0 ( − λ k e k ) = − θ λ l e l , thus

{ ‖ V ( λ k e k ) + V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ , ‖ V ( λ k e k ) − V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 λ k e k ‖ , 0 } = { 1 2 k | 2 λ k | 1 + | 2 λ k | , 0 }

and

{ ‖ V ( λ k e k ) + V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ , ‖ V ( λ k e k ) − V ( − λ k e k ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 θ λ l e l ‖ , 0 } = { 1 2 l | 2 λ l | 1 + | 2 λ l | , 0 } (5)

So, we get

1 2 k | 2 λ k | 1 + | 2 λ k | = 1 2 l | 2 λ l | 1 + | 2 λ l |

and we also have

1 2 k | λ k | 1 + | λ k | = 1 2 l | λ l | 1 + | λ l | , ( = r 0 )

through the two equalities of above

1 2 k | 2 λ k | 1 + | 2 λ k | 1 2 k | λ k | 1 + | λ k | = 1 2 l | 2 λ l | 1 + | 2 λ l | 1 2 l | λ l | 1 + | λ l |

In the end,

| λ l | = | λ k | (6)

The proof is complete.

Lemma 2.3. Let X = S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) and Y = S r 0 ( s ( n ) ) . Suppose that V 0 : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1) and λ k as in Lemma 2.2. Then for any lement x = ∑ k   ξ k e k ∈ X , we have V 0 ( x ) = ∑ k   η k e k , where | ξ k | = | η k | for any 1 ≤ k 0 ≤ n .

Proof: Note that the defination of V 0 , we can easily get V 0 ( 0 ) = 0 . For any 0 ≠ x ∈ X , write x = ∑ k   ξ k e k , where ∑ k 1 2 k | ξ k | 1 + | ξ k | = r 0 . we can write V 0 ( x ) = ∑ k   η k e k , where ∑ k 1 2 k | η k | 1 + | η k | = r 0 . we have

‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) ‖ = ‖ x + λ k 0 e k 0 ‖ + ‖ x − λ k 0 e k 0 ‖ = ‖ ∑ k ≠ k 0 ξ k e k + ( ξ k 0 + λ k 0 ) e k 0 ‖ + ‖ ∑ k ≠ k 0 ξ k e k + ( ξ k 0 − λ k 0 ) e k 0 ‖ = r 0 + 1 2 k 0 | ξ k 0 + λ k 0 | 1 + ξ k 0 + λ k 0 − 1 2 k 0 | ξ k 0 | 1 + | ξ k 0 | + r 0 + 1 2 k 0 | ξ k 0 − λ k 0 | 1 + ξ k 0 − λ k 0 − 1 2 k 0 | ξ k 0 | 1 + | ξ k 0 | .

On the other hand, we have

‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) ‖ + ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( λ k 0 e k 0 ) ‖ = ‖ ∑ k = 1 n   η k e k + θ k 0 λ k 0 e k 0 ‖ + ‖ ∑ k = 1 n   η k e k − θ k 0 λ k 0 e k 0 ‖ = ‖ ∑ k ≠ k 0 η k e k + ( η k 0 + θ k 0 λ k 0 ) e k 0 ‖ + ‖ ∑ k ≠ k 0 η k e k + ( η k 0 − θ k 0 λ k 0 ) e k 0 ‖ = r 0 + 1 2 k 0 | η k 0 + θ k 0 λ k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 + θ k 0 λ k 0 | − 1 2 k 0 | η k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 | + r 0 + 1 2 k 0 | η k 0 − θ k 0 λ k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 − θ k 0 λ k 0 | − 1 2 k 0 | η k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 | .

Combiniing the two equations, we obtain that

| ξ k 0 + λ k 0 | 1 + | ξ k 0 + λ k 0 | − | 2 ξ k 0 | 1 + | ξ k 0 | + | ξ k 0 − λ k 0 | 1 + | ξ k 0 − λ k 0 | = | η k 0 + θ k 0 λ k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 + θ k 0 λ k 0 | − | 2 η k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 | + | η k 0 − θ k 0 λ k 0 | 1 + | η k 0 − θ k 0 λ k 0 |

As λ k 0 ≥ | ξ k 0 | and λ k 0 ≥ | η k 0 | , we have

ξ k 0 + λ k 0 1 + ξ k 0 + λ k 0 − 2 ξ k 0 1 + ξ k 0 + λ k 0 − ξ k 0 1 + λ k 0 − ξ k 0 = λ k 0 + θ k 0 η k 0 1 + λ k 0 + θ k 0 η k 0 − 2 η k 0 1 + η k 0 + λ k 0 − θ k 0 η k 0 1 + λ k 0 − θ k 0 η k 0

Therefore,

λ k 0 + λ k 0 2 − ξ k 0 2 ( 1 + λ k 0 ) 2 − ξ k 0 2 + η k 0 1 + η k 0 − ξ k 0 1 + ξ k 0 = λ k 0 + λ k 0 2 − η k 0 2 ( 1 + λ k 0 ) 2 − η k 0 2

Analysis of the equation, according to the monotony of the function, that is

| ξ k | = | η k | (7)

The proof is complete.,

The next result shows that a mapping satisfying functional Equation (1) has a property close to linearity.

Lemma 2.4. Let X = s ( n ) and Y = s ( n ) . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). there exist two real numbers α and β with absolute 1 such that

V ( x + y ) = α V ( x ) + β V (y)

for all nonzero vectors x and y in X, x and y are orthogonal.

Proof: Let x and y be nonzero orthogonal vectors in X, we write x = ∑ k   ξ k e k , y = ∑ k   η k e k .

V ( x ) = ∑ k   ξ ′ k e k , V ( y ) = ∑ k   η ′ k e k

V ( x + y ) = ∑ k   ξ ″ k e k + ∑ k   η ″ k e k ,

where | ξ ′ k | = | ξ ″ k | = | ξ k | and | η ′ k | = | η ″ k | = | η k | . We infer from Equation (1) that

{ ‖ 2 x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ , ‖ y ‖ } = { ‖ V ( x + y ) + V ( x ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x + y ) − V ( x ) ‖ } = { ‖ ∑ k   ξ ″ k e k + ∑ k   η ″ k e k + ∑ k   ξ ′ k e k ‖ , ‖ ∑ k   ξ ″ k e k + ∑ k   η ″ k e k + ∑ k   η ′ k e k ‖ } = { 1 2 k | ξ ″ k + ξ ′ k | 1 + | ξ ″ k + ξ ′ k | + ‖ y ‖ , 1 2 k | ξ ″ k − ξ ′ k | 1 + | ξ ″ k − ξ ′ k | + ‖ y ‖ }

Through the above equation we can get ξ ″ k + ξ ′ k = 0 or ξ ″ k − ξ ′ k = 0 . This implies that ∑ k   ξ ″ k e k = ± V ( x ) , and similarly ∑ k   η ″ k e k = ± V ( y ) . The proof is complete.,

Lemma 2.5. Let X = s and Y = s . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then V is injective and V ( − x ) = − V ( x ) for all x ∈ X .

Proof: Suppose that V is surjective and V ( x ) = V ( y ) for some x , y ∈ X . Putting y = x in the Equation (1), this yields

{ ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ ,0 } = { ‖ 2 x ‖ ,0 }

V ( x ) = 0 if and only if x = 0 . Assume that V ( x ) = V ( y ) ≠ 0 choose z ∈ X such that V ( z ) = − V ( x ) , using the Equation (1) for x , y , z , we obtain

{ ‖ x − y ‖ , ‖ x + y ‖ } = { ‖ V ( x ) + V ( y ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x ) − V ( y ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ ,0 }

{ ‖ x − z ‖ , ‖ x + z ‖ } = { ‖ V ( x ) + V ( z ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x ) − V ( z ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ ,0 }

This yields y , z ∈ { x , − x } . If z = x , then V ( x ) = − V ( x ) = 0 , which is a contradiction. So we obtain z = − x , and we must have y = x . For otherwise we get y = z = − x and

V ( x ) = V ( y ) = V ( z ) = − V ( x ) = 0

This lead to the contradiction that V ( x ) ≠ 0 .

Theorem 2.6. Let X = s ( n ) and Y = s ( n ) . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then V is phase equivalent to a linear isometry J.

Proof: Fix γ 0 ∈ Γ , and let Z = { z ∈ X : z ⊥ e γ 0 } . By Lemma 2.4 we can write

V ( z + λ e γ 0 ) = α ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + β ( z , λ ) V ( λ e γ 0 ) , | α ( z , λ ) | = | β ( z , λ ) | = 1

for any z ∈ Z . Then, we can define a mapping J : s ( n ) → s ( n ) as follows:

J ( z + λ e γ 0 ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( λ e γ 0 )

J ( λ z ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V (λz)

J ( e γ 0 ) = V ( e γ 0 ) , J ( − e γ 0 ) = − V ( e γ 0 )

for ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ . The J is phase equivalent to V. So it is easily to know that J satisfies functional Equation (1). For any z ∈ Z , and ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ ,

{ ‖ 2 z ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | , 1 2 γ 0 | 1 − λ | 1 + | 1 − λ | } = { ‖ J ( z + e γ 0 ) + J ( z + λ e γ 0 ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z + e γ 0 ) − J ( z + λ e γ 0 ) ‖ } = { ‖ α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) V ( z ) + α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( e γ 0 ) + V ( λ e γ 0 ) ‖ ,         ‖ α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) V ( z ) − α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( e γ 0 ) − V ( λ e γ 0 ) ‖ } = { ‖ | α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) + α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) | V ( z ) ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | ,         ‖ | α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) − α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) | V ( z ) ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | }

That means α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) ,

J ( z + λ e γ 0 ) = J ( z ) + V ( λ e γ 0 ) for any z ∈ Z , and ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ .

That yields

{ ‖ J ( z ) + J ( − z ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z ) − J ( − z ) + 2 V ( e γ 0 ) ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z + e γ 0 ) + J ( − z − e γ 0 ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z + e γ 0 ) − J ( − z − e γ 0 ) ‖ } = { 0 , ‖ 2 ( z + e γ 0 ) ‖ }

That means J ( − z ) = − J ( z ) . On the other hand,

{ ‖ z 1 + z 2 ‖ + 2 3 1 2 γ 0 , ‖ z 1 − z 2 ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z 1 + e γ 0 ) + J ( z 2 + e γ 0 ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z 1 + e γ 0 ) − J ( z 2 + e γ 0 ) ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z 1 ) + J ( z 2 ) ‖ + 2 3 1 2 γ 0 , ‖ J ( z 1 ) − J ( z 2 ) ‖ }

for ∀ z 1 , z 2 ∈ Z , It follows that ‖ J ( x ) − J ( y ) ‖ = ‖ x − y ‖ for all x , y ∈ X , by assumed conditions, so J is a surjective isometry.,

Theorem 2.7. Let X = s and Y = s . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then V is phase equivalent to a linear isometry J.

Proof: According to [10] Theorem 1, Theorem 2 the author presents some results of extension from some spheres in the finite dimensional spaces s ( n ) . And also we have the above Theorem 2.6, so we can get the result easily.

3. Results about s n (H)

In this part, we mainly introduce the space s n ( H ) , where H is a Hilbert space. In [11] mainly discussed the isometric extension in the space s n ( H ) . For each element x = { x ( k ) } , the F-norm of x is defined by ‖ x ‖ = ∑ k = 1 ∞ 1 2 k ‖ x ( k ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ( k ) ‖ . Let s n ( H ) denote the set of all elements of the form x = ( x ( 1 ) , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , x ( n ) ) with ‖ x ‖ = ∑ k = 1 n 1 2 k ‖ x ( k ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ( k ) ‖ . where x ( i ) ( i = 1 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , n ) ∈ H .

Some notations used:

e x ( k ) = ( 0, ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , x ( k ) , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ,0 ) ∈ s n ( H ) , where ‖ x ( k ) ‖ = 1 .

Specially, when ‖ x ( k ) ‖ = 0 , we have e x ( k ) ‖ x ( k ) ‖ = ( 0 , ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ , 0 ) .

Next, we study the phase isometry between the space s n ( H ) to s n ( H ) , that if V is a surjective phase isometry, then V is phase equivalent to a linear isometry J.

Lemma 3.1. If x , y ∈ s n ( H ) , then

‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ if and only if s u p p x ∩ s u p p y = ∅

where s u p p x = { n : x ( n ) ≠ 0, n ∈ ℕ } .

Proof: It has a detailed proof process in [11] .

Lemma 3.2. Let S r 0 ( s n ( H ) ) be a sphere with radius r 0 in the finite dimensional space s n ( H ) , where r 0 < 1 2 n . Defined V 0 : S r 0 ( s n ( H ) ) → S r 0 ( s n ( H ) ) is an phase isometry, then we can get

x ⊥ y ⇔ V 0 ( x ) ⊥ V 0 ( y ) .

Proof: “Þ” Take any two elements x = { x ( i ) } , y = { y ( i ) } , let V 0 ( x ) = { x ′ ( i ) } , V 0 ( y ) = { y ′ ( i ) } . Then we have

2 r 0 = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ = ‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖

or

2 r 0 = ‖ x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ = ‖ x − y ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖ (8)

at the same time, we have

∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) − y ′ ( i ) ‖ ≤ ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ + ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ = 2 r 0

∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) + y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) + y ′ ( i ) ‖ ≤ ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ + ∑ i = 1 n 1 2 i ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ 1 + ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ = 2 r 0 (9)

That means ‖ V 0 ( x ) − V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) + V 0 ( y ) ‖ = ‖ V 0 ( x ) ‖ + ‖ + V 0 ( y ) ‖ , it is V 0 ( x ) ⊥ V 0 ( y ) . “Ü” The proof of sufficiency is similar to the Lemma 2.1.

Lemma 3.3. Let V 0 be as in Lemma 3.2, λ k = 2 k r 0 1 − 2 k r 0 ( k ∈ ℕ ) , ( 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) , and e x ( k ) = s n ( H ) . ( ‖ x ( k ) ‖ = 1 ) . Then there exists x ′ ( k ) ∈ H ( ‖ x ′ ( k ) ‖ = 1 ) , such that V 0 ( ± λ k e x ( k ) ) = ± λ k e x ′ ( k ) .

Proof: We prove first that, for any k ( 1 ≤ k ≤ n ) , there exist l ( 1 ≤ l ≤ n ) and x ′ ( l ) ( ‖ x ′ ( l ) ‖ = 1 ) such that V 0 ( λ k e x ( k ) ) = λ l e x ′ ( k ) . And then prove l = p . It is the same an Lemma 2.2.

Finally, we assert that, there exists x ′ ( k ) such that V 0 ( ± λ k e x ( k ) ) = ± λ k e x ′ ( k ) . Indeed, if V 0 ( λ k e x ( k ) ) = λ l e x ′ ( l ) , by the result in the last step, we have V 0 ( − λ k e x ( k ) ) = λ l e x ″ ( l ) ,

{ 0 , 1 2 k 2 λ k 1 + 2 λ k } = { ‖ V 0 ( λ k e x ( k ) ) − V 0 ( − λ k e x ( k ) ) ‖ , ‖ V 0 ( λ k e x ( k ) ) + V 0 ( − λ k e x ( k ) ) ‖ } = { ‖ λ l e x ′ ( l ) − λ l e x ″ ( l ) ‖ , ‖ λ l e x ′ ( l ) − λ l e x ″ ( l ) ‖ } = { 1 2 l λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) − x ″ ( l ) ‖ 1 + λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) − x ″ ( l ) ‖ , 1 2 l λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) + x ″ ( l ) ‖ 1 + λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) + x ″ ( l ) ‖ }

Therefore,

1 2 k 2 λ k 1 + 2 λ k = 1 2 l λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) − x ″ ( l ) ‖ 1 + λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) − x ″ ( l ) ‖ ≤ 1 2 l 2 λ l 1 + 2 λ l

or

1 2 k 2 λ k 1 + 2 λ k = 1 2 l λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) + x ″ ( l ) ‖ 1 + λ l ‖ x ′ ( l ) + x ″ ( l ) ‖ ≤ 1 2 l 2 λ l 1 + 2 λ l (10)

So, we can get k = l . And ‖ x ′ ( l ) − x ″ ( l ) ‖ = ‖ x ′ ( l ) + x ″ ( l ) ‖ = 2 , that means x ′ ( l ) = ± x ″ ( l ) .

Lemma 3.4. Let X = s n ( H ) and Y = s n ( H ) . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). there exist two real numbers α and β with absolute 1 such that

V ( x + y ) = α V ( x ) + β V (y)

for all nonzero vectors x and y in X, x and y are orthogonal. Proof: Let x = { x ( i ) } and y = { y ( i ) } be nonzero orthogonal vectors in X.

V { x ( i ) } = ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ( i ) ‖ x ( i ) ‖ ) ,

V { y ( i ) } = ∑ i = 1 n ‖ y ( i ) ‖ μ i V ( μ i e y ( i ) ‖ y ( i ) ‖ )

V { x ( i ) + y ( i ) } = ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ′ ( i ) ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ μ i V ( μ i e y ′ ( i ) ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ ) ,

where ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ = ‖ x ( i ) ‖ and ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ = ‖ y ( i ) ‖ . We infer from Equation (1) that

{ ‖ 2 x ‖ + ‖ y ‖ , ‖ y ‖ } = { ‖ V { x ( i ) + y ( i ) } + V { x ( i ) } ‖ , ‖ V { x ( i ) + y ( i ) } + V { y ( i ) } ‖ } = { ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ′ ( i ) ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ μ i V ( μ i e y ′ ( i ) ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ( i ) ‖ x ( i ) ‖ ) ,         ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ′ ( i ) ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ μ i V ( μ i e y ′ ( i ) ‖ y ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ y ( i ) ‖ μ i V ( μ i e y ( i ) ‖ y ( i ) ‖ ) } = { ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ′ ( i ) ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ ) + ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ( i ) ‖ x ( i ) ‖ ) + ‖ { y ( i ) } ‖ ,         ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ′ ( i ) ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ ) − ∑ i = 1 n ‖ x ( i ) ‖ λ i V ( λ i e x ( i ) ‖ x ( i ) ‖ ) + ‖ { y ( i ) } ‖ }

Through the above equation we can get ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ = ‖ x ( i ) ‖ or ‖ x ′ ( i ) ‖ = − ‖ x ( i ) ‖ . The proof is complete.,

Lemma 3.5. Let X = s n ( H ) and Y = s n ( H ) . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then V is injective and V ( − x ) = − V ( x ) for all x ∈ X .

Proof: Suppose that V is surjective and V ( x ) = V ( y ) for some x , y ∈ X . Putting y = x in the Equation (1), this yields

{ ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ , 0 } = { ‖ 2 x ‖ , 0 }

V ( x ) = 0 if and only if x = 0 . Assume that V ( x ) = V ( y ) ≠ 0 choose z ∈ X such that V ( z ) = − V ( x ) , using the Equation (1) for x , y , z , we obtain

{ ‖ x + y ‖ , ‖ x − y ‖ } = { ‖ V ( x ) + V ( y ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x ) − V ( y ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ , 0 }

{ ‖ x + z ‖ , ‖ x − z ‖ } = { ‖ V ( x ) + V ( z ) ‖ , ‖ V ( x ) − V ( z ) ‖ } = { ‖ 2 V ( x ) ‖ , 0 }

This yields y , z ∈ { x , − x } . If z = x , then V ( x ) = − V ( x ) = 0 , which is a contradiction. So we obtain z = − x , and we must have y = x . For otherwise we get y = z = − x and

V ( x ) = V ( y ) = V ( z ) = − V ( x ) = 0

This lead to the contradiction that V ( x ) ≠ 0 .

Theorem 3.6. Let X = s n ( H ) and Y = s n ( H ) . Suppose that V : X → Y is a surjective mapping satisfying Equation (1). Then V is phase equivalent to a linear isometry J.

Proof: Fix γ 0 ∈ Γ , and let Z = { z ∈ X : z ⊥ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ } . By Lemma 3.4 we can write

V ( z + λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) = α ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + β ( z , λ ) V ( λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) , | α ( z , λ ) | = | β ( z , λ ) | = 1

for any z ∈ Z . Then, we can define a mapping J : s n ( H ) → s n ( H ) as follows:

J ( z + λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ )

J ( λ z ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V (λz)

J ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) = V ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) , J ( − e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) = − V ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ )

for ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ . The J is phase equivalent to V. So it is easily to know that J satisfies functional Equation (1). For any z ∈ Z , and ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ ,

{ ‖ 2 z ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | , 1 2 γ 0 | 1 − λ | 1 + | 1 − λ | } = { ‖ J ( z + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) + J ( z + λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) − J ( z + λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ } = { ‖ α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) V ( z ) + α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) + V ( λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ ,         ‖ α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) V ( z ) − α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) V ( z ) + V ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) − V ( λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ } = { ‖ | α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) + α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) | V ( z ) ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | ,         ‖ | α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) − α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) | V ( z ) ‖ + 1 2 γ 0 | 1 + λ | 1 + | 1 + λ | }

That means α ( z , 1 ) β ( z , 1 ) = α ( z , λ ) β ( z , λ ) , J ( z + λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) = J ( z ) + V ( λ e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) for any z ∈ Z , and ∀ 0 ≠ λ ∈ ℝ .

That yields

{ ‖ J ( z ) + J ( − z ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z ) − J ( − z ) + 2 V ( e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) + J ( − z − e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) − J ( − z − e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ } = { 0 , ‖ 2 ( z + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ }

That means J ( − z ) = − J ( z ) . On the other hand,

{ ‖ z 1 + z 2 ‖ + 2 3 1 2 γ 0 , ‖ z 1 − z 2 ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z 1 + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) + J ( z 2 + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ , ‖ J ( z 1 + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) − J ( z 2 + e x ( γ 0 ) ‖ γ 0 ‖ ) ‖ } = { ‖ J ( z 1 ) + J ( z 2 ) ‖ + 2 3 1 2 γ 0 , ‖ J ( z 1 ) − J ( z 2 ) ‖ }

for ∀ z 1 , z 2 ∈ Z , It follows that ‖ J ( x ) − J ( y ) ‖ = ‖ x − y ‖ for all x , y ∈ X , by assumed conditions, so J is a surjective isometry.,

4. Conclusion

Through the analysis of this article, we can get the conclusion that if a surjective mapping satisfying phase-isometry, then it can phase equivalent to a linear isometry in the space s and the space s ( H ) .
