Suppose $K$ is the Gram matrix computed from $\mathbf{v}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{v}_n \in V$ relative to a given inner product. Let $\widetilde{K}$ be the Gram matrix for the same elements, but computed relative to a different inner product. Show that $K>0$ if and only if $\widetilde{K}>0$.

Key Concepts

Equivalence of Inner Products

In finite-dimensional vector spaces, any two inner products are equivalent, meaning that although they may induce different numerical representations, they agree on qualitative properties such as positive definiteness. This equivalence guarantees that a Gram matrix being positive definite with respect to one inner product implies it is also positive definite with respect to any other inner product.

Gram Matrix

A Gram matrix is constructed by taking the inner products of a given set of vectors with each other, resulting in a symmetric matrix that captures the geometric relationships among the vectors. It is central to understanding concepts such as linear independence and the norm structure of the space.

Inner Product

An inner product provides a way to introduce geometric structure into a vector space by defining notions of angle, length, and orthogonality. It satisfies properties like linearity, symmetry (or conjugate symmetry in complex spaces), and positive definiteness, which are essential for constructing Gram matrices.

Positive Definiteness

A matrix is positive definite if the quadratic form associated with it is positive for every non-zero vector. In the context of inner products, this property ensures that the computed norms are properly defined and that the matrix reflects the non-degeneracy of the underlying inner product.
