Let $E$ be a Banach space whose unit sphere $S$ has a hyperplane of symmetry. Then $E$ is a Hilbert space iff any of the following two conditions is fulfilled: a) the isometry group ${\\rm Iso}\\, E$ of $E$ has a dense orbit in S; b) the identity component $G_0$ of the group ${\\rm Iso}\\, E$ endowed with the strong operator topology acts topologically irreducible on $E$. Some related results on infinite dimentional Coxeter groups generated by isometric reflexions are given which allow to analyse the structure of isometry groups containing sufficiently many reflexions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-12-06T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "banach space", "isometric reflexions", "dimentional coxeter groups", "operator topology acts", "topology acts topologically irreducible" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1995math.....12204S" } } }
