More precisely, we show that a rectangular k*n random subgaussian matrix (with k < n) has the property that by arbitrarily extracting any m (with m < k) columns, the resulting submatrices are arbitrarily close to (multiples of) isometries of a Euclidean space. We obtain the optimal estimate for m as a function of k,n and the degree of "closeness" to an isometry. We also give a short and self-contained solution of the reconstruction problem for sparse vectors.15 pages; no figures; submittedStatistics TheoryFunctional Analysis46B07; 47B06; 41A05; 62G05; 94B75text
