A note on Banach--Mazur problem

Functional Analysis 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove that if XX is a real Banach space, with dimX3\dim X\geq 3, which contains a subspace of codimension 1 which is 1-complemented in XX and whose group of isometries is almost transitive then XX is isometric to a Hilbert space. This partially answers the Banach-Mazur rotation problem and generalizes some recent related results.
