Pulling an inner product back along a linear bijection from a real vector space onto a real inner product space yields an inner product for which the bijection is isometric; if the target is a Hilbert space so is the source, its inverse is linear, and orthonormal bases pull back to orthonormal bases.
In the setting of Real Hilbert Spaces: Standing Notation and Background, whose standing space is not used here, let be a vector space over with zero vector , let be a real inner product space with inner product , norm , distance and zero vector , let be a linear bijection, and let be its inverse. For put
Then the following hold.
1. (The transported inner product) is an inner product on , so that with it is a real inner product space; writing and for its norm and distance, and for all .
2. (The inverse) is linear, and for all .
3. (Completeness) If is a real Hilbert space, then with is a real Hilbert space.
4. (Orthonormal bases) Suppose is a real Hilbert space and is an orthonormal basis of . Then is an orthonormal basis of .
