58+ and $\mathcal{Y}$ is the set of possible outcomes of $Y$:

60+ $$ \label{eq:Y-range}
61+ \mathcal{Y} = \left\lbrace y = g(x): x \in \mathcal{X} \right\rbrace \; .
62+ $$
63+
64+ In the present case, we have $Y = g(X) = X^\mathrm{T}$ and $X = g^{-1}(Y) = Y^\mathrm{T}$ and all $Y \in \mathcal{Y} = \mathbb{R}^{p \times n}$. For the vectorized matrices $X$ and $Y$, the Jacobian matrix is

67+ J_{g^{-1}}(Y) = \left[ \begin{matrix}
68+ \frac{\mathrm{d}x_{11}}{\mathrm{d}y_{11}} & \frac{\mathrm{d}x_{11}}{\mathrm{d}y_{21}} & \ldots & \frac{\mathrm{d}x_{11}}{\mathrm{d}y_{pn}} \\

75+ Because by transposition, $y_ {ji} = x_ {ij}$, we have
76+
77+ $$ \label{eq:dxij-dyji}
78+ \frac{\mathrm{d}x_{ij}}{\mathrm{d}y_{kl}} = \left\{

85+
86+ Thus, $J_ {g^{-1}}(Y)$ is row-equivalent to $I_ {np}$ and $\left| J_ {g^{-1}}(Y) \right| = \left| I_ {np} \right| = 1$. Therefore, we have:
