Theorem

Let $\HH$ be a Hilbert space.

Let $A$ be a bounded linear operator on $\HH$.


Then the following are equivalent:

$(1): \quad A$ is a unitary operator
$(2): \quad A^* A = A A^* = I$, where $A^*$ denotes the adjoint of $A$, and $I$ denotes the identity operator
$(3): \quad A$ is a normal isometry


Proof
