Orthogonality Preserving Linear Map.
I'm having trouble with the following problem:
Let
be a real vector space equipped with an inner product
(and thus with a norm induced by that inner product).
Let
be a bijective linear transformation such that if
, then
.
Given an orthonormal basis
is
, it clearly is the case that
is an orthogonal basis of
and hence
is an orthonormal basis.
I now have to show that
, but everything I've tried so far has lead me to a dead end.
Any hint or tip from someone who knows how to prove this would be greatly appreciated (I'm not looking for someone to post a complete solution).
Re: Orthogonality Preserving Linear Map.
since our original basis is orthonormal:
for j = 2,...,n so:





,T(b_1-b_j) \rangle = 0)
i think it's clear where i'm going with this....
