Summary of a claim published in openai/math; not a claim by this platform.
The displayed question has a negative answer under the manuscript's stated construction. Its counterexample meets the conditions in this problem and defeats the universal assertion, so this is a full disproof claim. The supporting result is manuscript 1 (family 324; 2026-09-24).
Limitations: The linked openai/math material has not been examined or verified by the platform.

Linear rigidity of bi-Lipschitz equivalent separable Banach spaces
OpenAI's claim
OpenAI presents the following claims relevant to this question, with manuscript numbers following paper order in Sources. In manuscript 1 (family 324; 2026-09-24), the asserted result is that a global bi-Lipschitz bijection can exist between separable real Banach spaces for which no linear isomorphism exists.Mathematical statement of the claimed result
Manuscript 1.
The claimed counterexample consists of separable real Banach spaces $X,Y$ and a bijection $\Psi:X\to Y$ with \[ \tfrac4{21}\|s-t\|_X\le\|\Psi(s)-\Psi(t)\|_Y\le\tfrac{76}{25}\|s-t\|_X \quad(s,t\in X). \] Yet $X$ contains a linearly isometric copy of $c_0(\ell_2)$, the space of $\ell_2$-valued null sequences with supremum norm, whereas $Y$ contains no closed subspace linearly isomorphic to it. Thus the metric equivalence does not yield a linear Banach-space isomorphism.Outline of the argument
For manuscript 1 (family 324; 2026-09-24), weighted graph spaces give a linear obstruction detected by complete continuity. A triangular change of variables is localized into moving Hilbert slots with common motion budgets and orthogonality; finite inverses converge to an onto nonlinear equivalence.Formal verification
For manuscript 1 (family 324; 2026-09-24), OpenAI lists Lean statements for this assertion: a global bi-Lipschitz bijection can exist between separable real Banach spaces for which no linear isomorphism exists.The central assertion is within the documented formal scope; the additional applications retain their own scope limits.

Status caveat
The manuscripts were produced by an internal OpenAI model. OpenAI cautions that results without formalization can contain mistakes. This site has not independently checked the proofs; the label records the scope of OpenAI's claim.Sources
