What is the set of all isometric matrix in $mathbb{R}^{k times d}$?












1












$begingroup$


An isometry from metric space $X=mathbb{R}^{d}$ to metric space $Y=mathbb{R}^{k}$ with usual norm for both spaces is the following:



$$
Phi: mathbb{R}^{d} rightarrow mathbb{R}^{k}
$$

where $Phi(x)=Px$ and $P in mathbb{R}^{k times d}$ such that $|x|_2^2=|Px|_2^2$. The set of all $P$'s can be written as



$$
mathcal{P}={P in mathbb{R}^{k times d} mid |x|_2^2=|Px|_2^2 ,,,, forall x in mathbb{R}^{d}}
$$



My questions:



Is $mathcal{P}$ the set of all $P in mathbb{R}^{k times d}$ where each column is a Euclidean basis $e_i=[0,0,cdots,0,overbrace{1}^{i},0,cdots,0]^{T}$?



If so, why this is true and we have only zero and 1 in the isometry?

    No. $mathcal P$ is the set of all $P$ satisfying $P^TP = I_d$, where $I_d$ is the $d times d$ identity matrix.

    But $P$ is $d times k$, shouldn't be $P^TP=I_k$?

    If $Phi$ goes from $X$ to $Y$, then $P$ should be $ktimes d$.

    @Omnomnomnom: Yes. you are right. I edited it. $P$ can be any matrix with $d$ colums including orthonormal vectors in $mathbb{R}^k$?
