Isometries on a Banach space converging pointwise

I'm trying to find a Banach space $V$ with closed unit ball $B$ and a sequence of isometries $(f_n:Vto V)$ such that $(f_n)$ converges pointwise in $B$ but not uniformly in $B$.



My first attempts were to make it kind of simple. If $V=c_0$ (the space with sequences $x_nto 0$ with the sup norm) take for instance the linear functions $T_n(x)=(0,ldots,0,x_{n+1},x_{n+2},ldots)$. It is easy to see that $T_n$ converges pointwise to the zero function, but it doesn't so uniformly in $B$. However, $T_n$ is not an isometry although it satisfies $left|{T(x)}right|leleft|{x}right|$.



Can someone give me a hint?



Thanks.

  • Would anything involving the shift operator work? $T(x_1,x_2,ldots) = (0,x_1,x_2,ldots)$ and $T_n:=T^n$. Thinking for a few minutes I can't come up with an appropriate space but perhaps it can work.

  • @user25959 I thought about that too, but I don't know if it converges pointwise.

Let $V=l^{2}, f_n(x_1,x_2,...))=(x_1,x_2,...,x_n,0,x_{n+1},...)$ (where a $0$ is inserted at the n-th position). Then $f_n(x) to x$ for every $x in B$ but $|f_n(x)-x|^{2}geq |x_{n+1}|^{2}$ so the convergence is not uniform on $B$.
