Abstract

In this paper, we prove that if T is a bounded linear transformation U from one Hilbert space H to a Hilbert space K, then there exists a partial isometry U from H to K and a positive operator P such that T=UP.


Consequently, if T=UP is the polar decomposition of T, we find a necessary and sufficient condition that a partial isometry U is an isometry.
