[Math] Riesz basis in Hilbert space

functional-analysishilbert-spaces

We know that a collection of vectors $\{x_{k}\}$ in a Hilbert space called Riesz basis if it is an image of orthonormal for H under invertible linear transformation. How to prove that there is constants $A,B$ such that for all $x\in H$
$$
A||x||^2\leq\sum_{k}\langle x,x_k \rangle^2\leq B||x||^2?
$$

I think what you exact mean is that there exist a bounded linear operator $L$ on $H$ with bounded inverse and an orthonormal basis $\{e_k\}$ of $H$, such that $Le_k=x_k$ for every $k$. If so, then $ \langle x,x_k \rangle = \langle x,Le_k \rangle = \langle L^*x,e_k \rangle $, where $L^*$ is the adjoint operator of $L$. Therefore, $\sum_k| \langle x,x_k \rangle |^2=\sum_k| \langle L^*x,e_k \rangle |^2=\|L^*x\|^2$. Since $L$ is bounded with a bounded inverse, $L^*$ is also bounded with a bounded inverse. The conclusion follows.
