Understanding the problem

Read the background

Every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of nonzero real Banach spaces extends uniquely to a surjective real-linear isometry of the full spaces.

Why it matters

If correct, resolves Tingley’s sphere-isometry extension problem for arbitrary real Banach spaces.

What counts as progress

Does every surjective Banach-sphere isometry extend to a linear isometry?
