Abstract: We consider the Hamming space of periodic $(0,1)$-sequences and a continual family of its subspaces defined as direct limits of finite Hamming spaces. These subspaces form a complete lattice under inclusion which is isomorphic to the lattice of supernatural numbers. We explicitly describe the isometry groups of these spaces. This involves certain constructions similar to the hyperoctahedral groups but accounting for additional structures on the underlying sets.

Keywords: Hamming space, Besicovitch space, isometry group, semidirect product, rooted tree, Bernoulli measure.
