Algebraic and invariance properties of the group of isometries (Q2261560)

This paper deals with the well-known problem to characterize all the onto linear isometries on a Banach space. First, the authors obtain some general results about the group of isometries on a symmetric sequence space, where the isometries are well identified, using the previous works [\textit{J. Arazy}, Isr. J. Math. 22, 247--256 (1976; Zbl 0319.47020)] and [\textit{R. J. Fleming} and \textit{J. E. Jamison}, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. 9, 121--127 (1974; Zbl 0288.47027)]. Then they apply the above general results to characterize the isometries and to identify the group of isommetries, using group theory, for the spaces \(\mathcal{C}_p(\mathcal H)\) (\(\mathcal{H}\) a Hilbert space and \(1\leq p<\infty\)), \(\mathcal{L}(\ell_p ,\ell_r)\) with \(1\leq p,r<\infty\), and the space of bounded operators \(\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})\) for \(\mathcal{H}\) a Hilbert space, endowed with Chan-Li-Tui unitarily invariant \((c,p)\)-norms.
