Let $H$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space. I've heard that to give an effectif Hodge structure of weight 1 on $H$ is the same as to give a complex structure on $H_\mathbb{R}$. Why is this true?
If I have a complex structure, that is an endomorphism $I \in \mathrm{End}(H_\mathbb{R})$ such that $I^2=-Id$, then I can define $H^{1, 0}$ (resp. $H^{0, 1}$) as the eigenspaces of the eigenvalues $i$ and $-i$.
How to prove the converse. Here is my idea:
consider the inclusion $j: H_\mathbb{R} \hookrightarrow H_\mathbb{C}=H^{1, 0} \oplus H^{0, 1}$. For any $u \in H_\mathbb{R}$, $j(u)$ decomposes as
$j(u)=v+w, \quad v \in H^{1, 0}, w\in H^{0, 1}$
Define $I(u)=i(v-w)$ for the corresponding $v$ and $w$. One has to verify that $I(u) \in H_\mathbb{R}$. But:
$\overline{I(u)}=-i(\bar{v}-\bar{w})=-i(w-v)=i(v-w)=I(u)$
where I use the Hodge symmetry to say that $\bar{v}=w$ and $\bar{w}=v$.
Is that correct? Is it the standard argument? Is there a more conceptual way of understanding things?
Thanks
