On the Banach-Stone problem
Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces, let E and F be Banach spaces, and let T be a linear isometry from C₀(X,E) into C₀(Y,F). We provide three new answers to the Banach-Stone problem: (1) T can always be written as a generalized weighted composition operator if and only if F is strictly convex; (2) if T is onto then T can be written as a weighted composition operator in a weak sense; and (3) if T is onto and F does not contain a copy of then T can be written as a weighted composition...
