One implication is immediate: a unitary module equivalence makes each space an isometric copy of the entire other space, which is closed and invariant. For the converse, choose isometric intertwiners and supplied by the two embeddings. Their ranges are closed reducing subspaces. We construct the unitary, proving the Schröder-Bernstein theorem for Hilbert space modules in this setting.
Put , an isometric intertwiner of into itself, and let . The spaces , , are mutually orthogonal. For , applying the isometry relation reduces their inner product to one between and , which is zero. Hence
is a closed reducing submodule of , and . Its orthogonal complement lies in , because it is orthogonal to . Combining these decompositions gives
Apply the inverse isometry on to obtain
The operator
is therefore an isometry onto : it is isometric on each orthogonal summand and their images are the two orthogonal summands just exhibited. Both pieces intertwine the action of , as do the projections onto and , so is a unitary module equivalence. This proves the reverse implication with no finiteness assumption on either module.
