Tingley’s sphere-isometry problem

Resolves Tingley's problem: every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of nonzero real Banach spaces extends uniquely to a surjective real-linear isometry of the whole spaces. No dimension restriction is imposed, so the metric geometry of the unit sphere determines the Banach space up to linear isometry.
