Surjective sphere-preserving maps of the extended Euclidean space

About 18 years old · traced to

Let nn and rr be the dimensions under consideration, and let f:R^n→R^nf:\hat{\mathbb{R}}^n\to\hat{\mathbb{R}}^n be a map that sends every rr-dimensional sphere into an rr-dimensional sphere. Sphere-preserving Möbius conjecture. If ff is surjective, then ff is a Möbius transformation. This conjecture was posed in the context of removing injectivity assumptions from sphere-preserving characterizations; the corresponding Euclidean hyperplane statement is known, while this spherical assertion is presented as open here.
