Orbits under a class of isometries of L¹[0,1]
We study the orbits of isometries of L¹[0,1]. For a certain class of isometries we show that the set of functions f in L¹[0,1] for which the orbit of f under the isometry T is equivalent to the usual canonical basis e₁,e₂,e₃,... of l¹ is an open dense set. In the proof we develop a new method to get copies of l¹ inside L¹[0,1] using geometric progressions. This method does not use disjoint or relatively disjoint supports, which seems to be the most common way to get such copies. We also use this...
