On phase and norm retrieval by subspaces
This paper studies phase and norm retrieval by subspaces. We first investigate norm retrieval by hyperplanes. We show that if $N$ hyperplanes $\{φ_i^\perp\}_{i=1}^N\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ allow norm retrieval and the vectors $\{φ_i\}_{i=1}^N$ are linearly independent, then these vectors must be an orthonormal basis for $\mathbb{R}^N$. We then present several new properties of subspaces that allow phase and norm retrieval. In particular, we provide a complete classification of two proper subspaces that perform norm retrieval. It is known that the collection of norm-retrievable frames $\{φ_i\}_{i=1}^M$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ is not dense in the set of all $M$-element frames when $M < 2N-1$. We extend this result to subspaces. Several alternative proofs of fundamental results in phase and norm retrieval are also provided.
