Abstract

Let πn be n-dimensional Lobachevskii space, and {lx:x∈ πn} be a family of lines, parallel to a linel 0, 0∈πn (in a given direction). Let {cx:X∈πn} be a family of circular cones in πn of openingα with axes lX and vertex X. Then, iffn→πn(n>2) is a bijective mapping andf(Cx)=C f(x), it follows thatf is a motion in the space πn.
