If G1 and G2 are locally compact groups and the algebras Ll(G1) and Ll(G2) are isometrically isomorphic, then G1 and G2 are isomorphic (Wendel, 1952, [8]). There is evidence that the following generalization of Wendel's result is true.

If T is an algebra isomorphism of L1(G1) onto L1(G2) with ∥T∥ < √2, then G1, and G2 are isomorphic.
