Abstract

We prove that if XX is a real rearrangement-invariant function space on [0,1][0,1], which is not isometrically isomorphic to L2,L_2, then every surjective isometry T:XXT:X\to X is of the form Tf(s)=a(s)f(σ(s))Tf(s)=a(s)f(\sigma(s)) for a Borel function aa and an invertible Borel map σ:[0,1][0,1].\sigma:[0,1] \to [0,1]. If XX is not equal to LpL_p, up to renorming, for some 1p1\le p\le \infty then in addition a=1|a|=1 a.e. and σ\sigma must be measure-preserving.
