    There is a minor inaccuracy in the statment, since anti-unitary operators are not linear (they are anti-linear).

    Is this theorem true at all? Let the function ff map (z 1,z 2,)(z_1,z_2,\dots) to (z¯ 1,z 2,)(\overline z_1, z_2,\dots) where the coordinates refer to a Hilbert basis. This is a surjective norm-preserving transformation but isn’t unitary or anti-unitary even up to phase.

    The statement in the entry was missing the condition that the map sends lines to lines, i.e. that it is a map of projective spaces. I have made a quick edit, but no time for more for the moment.

    I have now expanded a fair bit, written out the actual statement (starting in a new section “Preliminaries” here) and also adding an “Idea”-section (here).
