Let $M$ be a positive semidefinite operator on a complex Hilbert space $(F,(\cdot,\cdot))$.
On the quotient space $F/\text{Ker}(M)$ we have the following inner product $$\langle \overline{x},\overline{y}\rangle = (Mx,y),$$ for all $\overline{x},\overline{y}\in F/\text{Ker}(M)$.
According to some papers, the following theorem figures in this book. However, I don't find it and I hope to get its proof.
Theorem: The completion of $F/\text{Ker}(M)$ denoted $\overline{F/\text{Ker}(M)}$ is isometrically isomorphic to the Hilbert space $\text{Im}(M^{1/2})$ with the inner product $$( M^{1/2}x,M^{1/2}y)_0=(P_{\overline{\text{Im}(M)}}x, P_{\overline{\text{Im}(M)}}y),\;\forall\, x,y \in F.$$ $P_{\overline{\text{Im}(M)}}$ is the orthogonal projection onto $\overline{\text{Im}(M)}$.
I think that in order to prove the theorem it suffices to show that
The completion of $F/\text{Ker}(M)$ is isomorphic to $(\overline{\text{Im}(M)}, (\cdot,\cdot)_0)$. Is this claim true?
