Linear isometries of the closed unit ball #
A linear isometry preserves norms, so it maps the closed unit ball into the closed unit ball and the unit sphere into the unit sphere. This file records the restriction to the closed unit ball, independently of any manifold structure: it is a topological embedding, and it meets the unit sphere exactly in the image of the unit sphere. These are the point-set facts behind the smooth embedding of closed balls induced by a linear isometry, the flat disc that a great circle bounds.
