The wedge product of two positive forms is positive
I have previously posted this question on MSE, but still didn't solve it.
Definition. A real $(p, p)$-form $\psi$ on a complex manifold $M^{n}$ is said to be (semi-) positive, if for any $x \in M$, ...

Functional inequality with complex variables
I am interested in considering a function $C(\tau)$ of the complex variable $\tau = t + i\eta$ such that
$C(\tau)$ is analytic for $\Re(\tau)=t>t_0\ge0$
$\exists$ a constant $C_0$ and a function $...

Separating orthogonal vectors in $\mathbb{C}^2$
Is it possible to partition $\mathbb{C}^2$ into two sets $S$ and $S'$ such that, given any two nonzero orthogonal vectors $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{w}$ of $\mathbb{C}^2$, one of them lies in $S$ and ...

Two definitions for transverse $(p,p)$ form
Let $V$ be a complex vector space of dimension $n$ and let $V^*$ be its dual. Fix any integer $1\leq p\leq {n-1}.$ A $(p,p)$-form $\alpha\in\bigwedge^{p,p}V^*$ is said to be strictly weakly positive ...

Reference on classifying real subspaces of complex vector spaces (based on restricted complex structure)
Every complex vector space can also been seen as real vector space. If we now choose a real subspace, it may not be a complex subspace (in particular, if it is of odd real dimension).
If the complex ...

What is the Jarlskog invariant, conceptually?
Let $U$ be a $3\times 3$ unitary matrix, and call $(u_{ij})$ its coefficients. For $i,j,k,\ell$ in $\{1,2,3\}$ with $i\neq j$ and $k\neq\ell$, consider the quantity:

\mathbb{D}_n:=\{w\in M_{n\times n}(\mathbb{C}):w=w^t, I_n-w\overline{w}>0\}.
