Local isometries of $\mathcal{L}(X,C(K))$

In this paper we study the structure of local isometries on $\mathcal{L}(X,C(K))$. We show that when $K$ is first countable and $X$ is uniformly convex and the group of isometries of $X^\ast$ is algebraically reflexive, the range of a local isometry contains all compact operators. When $X$ is also uniformly smooth and the group of isometries of $X^\ast$ is algebraically reflexive, we show that a local isometry whose adjoint preserves extreme points is a $C(K)$-module map.
