LetF be a finite dimensional, non-singular vectorspace,F 1 andF 2 two subspaces ofF of the same dimension. A necessary and sufficient condition that there exists an orthogonal transformation ofF 1 ontoF 2 is that the restrictions of the metric form onF toF 1 andF 2 are equivalent. See e.g.J. Dieudonné, Sur les groupes classiques. Paris 1958 (18).
