prove $dim(operatorname{range}(T)) = dim(operatorname{range}(sqrt{T^*T}))$












1












$begingroup$


I'm a student and I'm studying linear algebra. in Polar Decomposition we have:




for a linear operator $T$, there exist a linear isometry $S$ that:
$$ T =Ssqrt{T^*T}$$




so if $S$ is a linear transformation then it must be $dim(operatorname{range}(T)) leq dim(operatorname{range}(sqrt{T^*T}))$.



But why?



edit: I think it must be equal, I mean:



$$dim(operatorname{range}(T)) = dim(operatorname{range}(sqrt{T^*T}))$$



I know that $dim(operatorname{range}(T)) = dim(operatorname{range}(T^*))$ but because of the square root I cannot prove that $dim(operatorname{range}(T)) = dim(operatorname{range}(sqrt{T^*T}))$.

As @egreg pointed out, for any linear maps $S,T$, the rank of $ST$ is always less than or equal to that of $T$. To see this, note that by dimension theorem $$dim text{ran} L =dim operatorname{dom} L-dimker Lledim operatorname{dom} L$$ for any linear map $L$. Now, the image of $ST$ can be seen as the image of
$$
Sbig|_{text{ran} T} :text{ran} Tto V,
$$ we can see that $dim text{ran} (ST)le dim text{ran} T$ as wanted. Moreover, equality holds if $dim ker Sbig|_{text{ran}T}=dim [ker Scaptext{ran}T]=0$. (Here, $V$ denotes the vector space where $S,T$ are defined.)



To see that $dim text{ran}T =dim text{ran}(T^*T)$, note that $Tx = 0$ if and only if $T^*Tx =0$, which is saying that $ker T = ker (T^*T)$. Now, by dimension theorem, we have
$$
dim text{ran} T = dim V - dim ker T = dim V - dim ker (T^*T) = dimtext{ran}(T^*T).
$$ (Or we can use the fact that $S$ is an isometry.)

    If $Tcolon Uto V$ and $Scolon Vto W$ are linear maps between finite dimensional vector spaces, then
    $$DeclareMathOperator{range}{range}
    dimrange{ST}ledimrange(T)
    $$
    This follows from the rank-nullity theorem:
    begin{align}
    dim U&=dimrange(T)+dimker(T) \
    dim U&=dimrange(ST)+dimker(ST)
    end{align}
    Therefore
    $$
    dimrange(ST)=dimrange(T)+dimker(T)-dimker(ST)ledimrange(T)
    $$
    because from $ker(T)subseteqker(ST)$ we have $dimker(T)ledimker(ST)$.



    In your case you can conclude that
    $$
    dimrange(T)ledimrange(sqrt{T^*T})
    $$
    On the other hand, $S$ is an isometry, so it is invertible and
    $$
    sqrt{T^*T}=S^{-1}T
    $$
    The same argument as before implies
    $$
    dimrange(sqrt{T^*T})ledimrange(T)
    $$
