A one-to-one map between $M_{ntimes n}$ and the $mathbb{R}^{n^{2}}$?

I've been trying to think in something that can make this happen, but i'm not get anywhere. Plus, i have to show something through this map that can make this space($M_{ntimes n}$) a metric space, so a think to use the trace of a matrix. Is that correct?

          The trace of matrix is invalid since it reduces the dimension from $n^2$ to $n$. You can define the set of $ntimes n$ matrices with Frobenius norm and reorder the rows of the matrices back to back and define the Euclidean $2$-norm on $Bbb R^{n^2}$. In this manner the two metric spaces would become homeomorphic.

          • Actually, $mathrm{tr}:M_{ntimes n}tomathbb R$ reduces the dimension to just $1$.

          Just take
          $$
          f:Ato (a_{1,1},a_{1,2},dots,a_{1,n},a_{2,1},dots a_{2,n},a_{3,1}dots,a_{n,1},a_{n,2},dots, a_{n,n})
          $$

          i.e just rearrange the entries of $A$ into a vector in $mathbb{R}^{n^2}$.
          Then define $d(A,B):=||f(A)-f(B)||$.

          i.e just rearrange the entries of $A$ into a vector in $mathbb{R}^{n^2}$.

          Just take
          $$
          f:Ato (a_{1,1},a_{1,2},dots,a_{1,n},a_{2,1},dots a_{2,n},a_{3,1}dots,a_{n,1},a_{n,2},dots, a_{n,n})

          • But this map is one-to-one? I think that $$f:Arightarrow (a_{1,1},..., a_{1,n}, a_{2,1}...,a{2,n},...,a_{n,1},...,a_{n,n})$$ answer the question, but i'm not sure of that.

          • Take n=3. If $A=begin{array}{lcr} a & b & c \ d & e & f \ g & h & j end{array}$ and $B = begin{array}{lcr} a & b & c \ k & l & m \ g & h & j end{array}$. So $Aneq B$ but f(A)=f(B)

            Your objection : "Take n=3..." is not valid : we order the entries f(A)=(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i) is different from f(B)=(a, b, c, k, l, m, g, h, i) !
