    Let \(L(H)\) denote the algebra of all linear bounded operators on a Hilbert space \(H\) and \(L(H)^+\) the cone of positive semidefinite operators. Any \(A\in L(H)^+\) defines a positive sesquilinear form \(\langle\xi,\eta\rangle_A= \langle A\xi,\eta\rangle\) inducing the seminorm \(\|\cdot\|_A\). Given \(T\in L(H)\), an operator \(W\in L(H)\) is called an \(A\) adjoint of \(T\) if \(\langle T\xi,\eta\rangle_A= \langle\xi, W\eta\rangle_A\) for \(\xi,\eta\in H\). An operator \(T\in L(H)\) is called an \(A\)-isometry if \(\| T\xi\|_A= \|\xi\|_A\) for every \(\xi\in H\). The authors relate \(A\)-isometries with \(A\)-selfadjoint projections and establish a relationship between \(A\)-isometries and partial isometries.
