Isometries of direct sums of sequence spaces (Q1275252)

The main result of the paper is the following: If \(X\) and \(Y\) are arbitrary complex symmetric sequence spaces, then for every surjective isometry \(T:X(Y)\to X(Y)\) there exists a permutation \(\pi\) of \(\{1,\dots,\dim X\}\subset N\) and surjective isometries \(\{S_j\}_{j\leq\dim X}\) of \(Y\) so that: \(T((y_j)_{j\leq \dim X})= (S_j y_{\pi(j)})_{j\leq \dim X}\). Other technical characterization of surjective isometries in more complicated spaces with direct sum structure are given.
