Abstract

In this paper we exhibit examples of generalized gyrovector spaces (GGVs) of the sets of positive invertible elements in unital C*-algebras. Then we employ a geometric inequality on the positive cones in these unital C*-algebras. By applying a Mazur–Ulam theorem for GGVs, we analyze Thompson-like isometries on GGVs of positive invertible elements.
