\beginabstract Suppose p is a computable real so that p ≥ 1. It is shown that the halting set can compute a surjective linear isometry between any two computable copies of ℓp. It is also shown that this result is optimal in that when p ≠ 2 there are two computable copies of ℓp with the property that any oracle that computes a linear isometry of one onto the other must also compute the halting set. Thus, ℓp is Δ20-categorical and is computably categorical if and only if p = 2. It is also shown that there is a computably categorical Banach space that is not a Hilbert space and that ℓp is linearly isometric to a computable Banach space if and only if p is computable. These results hold in both the real and complex case.
