Almost linearity of -bi-Lipschitz maps between real Banach spaces

Let and be real Banach spaces. A map between and is called an -bi-Lipschitz map if for all . In this note we show that if is an -bi-Lipschitz map with from onto , then is almost linear. We also show that if is a surjective -bi-Lipschitz map with , then there exists a linear isomorphism such that

The Chow rings for 3-dimensional toric varieties with one bad isolated singularity

The properties of a toric variety have strong connection with the combinatorial structure of the corresponding fan and the relations among the generators. Using this fact, we have described explicitly the Chow ring for aQ-factorial toric variety as the Stanley-Reisner ring for the corresponding fan modulo the linear equivalence relation. In this paper, we calculate the Chow ring for 3-dimensionalQ-factorial toric varieties having one bad isolated singularity.
