If $Ain M_{rtimes m}(mathbb{C}),Bin M_{mtimes r}(mathbb{C})$,$AB=Id_r$,then $A,B$ is a partial isometry.



My question:how to show $A^*A,B^*B$ is a projection?

          This is not true. If $m=r=1$, you can take $A=2$, $B=1/2$, and none of them are partial isometries. Even if you require $|A|leq1$, $|B|leq1$, then statements fails: take
          $$
          A=begin{bmatrix} tfrac12&tfrac12end{bmatrix} B=begin{bmatrix} 1\ 1end{bmatrix}.
          $$

          What you can tell from $AB=I$ is that $BA$ is an idempotent:
          $$
          (BA)^2=B(AB)A=BA.
          $$

          It is not necessary that $BA$ is selfadjoint, though. For instance take
          $$
          A=begin{bmatrix} tfrac12&1end{bmatrix} B=begin{bmatrix} 1\ tfrac12end{bmatrix}.
          $$

          then $AB=1$, and $BA=begin{bmatrix} 1/2 & 1\ 1/4& 1/2end{bmatrix}$.



          You do have that $B^*A^*AB=I_r$, so $AB$ is a partial isometry, and $ABB^*A^*$ is a projection, since
          $$
          (ABB^*A^*)^2=ABB^*A^*ABB^*A^*=ABI_rB^*A^*=ABB^*A^*.
          $$
