Equality of orthogonal projection norms. [closed]












0














Let $F,G$ be two sub vector spaces of $mathbb{R}^n$, and denote $P_F,P_G$ the orthogonal projection matrices on $F$ and $G$ respectively. Suppose that for all $v in mathbb{R}^n$ we have:
begin{equation*}
||P_Fv||^2 = ||P_Gv||^2
end{equation*}

where $||cdot||$ is the euclidean norm. Is it true that one of the following assertion holds?



i) $F subset G$



ii) $G subset F$



iii) F=G

          From $||P_Fv||^2 = ||P_Gv||^2$ for all $v in mathbb R^n$ we get



          $v in F^{perp} iff P_Fv=0 iff P_Gv=0 iff v in G^{perp} .$



          Hence $F^{perp}=G^{perp}$.



          Can you proceed ?
