The group of L²-isometries on H¹₀
Let Ω be an open subset of ℝⁿ. Let L² = L²(Ω,dx) and H¹₀ = H¹₀(Ω) be the standard Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces of complex-valued functions. The aim of this paper is to study the group of invertible operators on H¹₀ which preserve the L²-inner product. When Ω is bounded and ∂Ω is smooth, this group acts as the intertwiner of the H¹₀ solutions of the non-homogeneous Helmholtz equation u - Δu = f, . We show that is a real Banach-Lie group, whose Lie algebra is (i times) the space of symmetrizable operators....
