Abstract

Consider a group GG of order MM acting unitarily on a real inner product space VV. We show that the sorting based embedding obtained by applying a general linear map α:RM×NRD\alpha : \mathbb{R}^{M \times N} \to \mathbb{R}^D to the invariant map βΦ:VRM×N\beta_\Phi : V \to \mathbb{R}^{M \times N} given by sorting the coorbits (v,gϕiV)gG(\langle v, g \phi_i \rangle_V)_{g \in G}, where (ϕi)i=1NV(\phi_i)_{i=1}^N \in V, satisfies a bi-Lipschitz condition if and only if it separates orbits. Additionally, we note that any invariant Lipschitz continuous map (into a Hilbert space) factors through the sorting based embedding, and that any invariant continuous map (into a locally convex space) factors through the sorting based embedding as well.
