Suppose that G E and G ′ E ′ are domains, where E and E ′ denote real Banach spaces with dimension at least 2, and f : G → G ′ is a homeomorphism. The aim of this paper is to prove the validity of the implications:and the invalidity of their opposite implications, i.e., f is locallygives a negative answer to one of the open problems raised by Väisälä in 1999.
