Abstract: Let $P$ and $Q$ be two orthogonal projections on a separable Hilbert space, $calH$. Wang, Du and Dou proved that there exists a unitary, $U$, with $UP{U}^{-1}=Q,quadUQ{U}^{-1}=P$ if and only if $dim(kerPcapker(1-Q))=dim(kerQcapker(1-P))$ (both may be infinite). We provide a new proof using the supersymmetric machinery of Avron, Seiler and Simon.
