Abstract

In this paper we give a complete description of surjective linear isometries between Banach spaces of absolutely continuous functions on arbitrary (not necessarily compact) subsets of the real line with respect to the sum-norm. We also use this description to study approximate local isometries and approximate 2-local isometries on these spaces. In particular, we present generalizations of all known results concerning such isometries, and obtain the reflexivity and 2-reflexivity of the isometry group of absolutely continuous function spaces in a noncompact framework.
