Abstract: A display of a topological group G on a Banach space X is a topological isomorphism of G with the isometry group Isom(X,||.||) for some equivalent norm ||.|| on X, where the latter group is equipped with the strong operator topology. Displays of Polish groups on separable real spaces are studied. It is proved that any closed subgroup of the infinite symmetric group S_infty containing a non-trivial central involution admits a display on any of the classical spaces c0, C([0,1]), lp and Lp for 1 <=p <infty. Also, for any Polsih group G, there exists a separable space X on which {-1,1} x G has a display.

Review text

It is proved that each closed subgroup \(G\) of the symmetric group \(S_\infty\) with a non-trivial central involution is topologically isomorphic to the isometry group \(\mathrm{Iso}(X)\) of a Banach space \(X\) which is isomorphic to any of the classical Banach spaces: \(c_0\), \(C([0,1])\), \(\ell_p\), \(L_p\) for \(1\leq p<\infty\). Another main result says that for every Polish group \(G\) the group \(\{-1,1\}\times G\) is topologically isomorphic to the isometry group of some separable Banach space \(X\). The paper ends with some open problems. One of them asks if every Polish group with a non-trivial central involution is topologically isomorphic to the isometry group of some separable Banach spaces.
