Suppose we have a set of real unit vectors $v_1,\ldots,v_m \in \mathbb{R}^n$. We can always find a set of unitary operators $U_1,\ldots,U_m$ acting on $\mathbb{C}^N$ (for $N$ that is possibly much ...

Let $V$ be an infinite dimensional vector space and suppose we have a smooth family $\{g_t\}_{t\ge 0}$ of symmetric bi-linear forms such that: $g_0$ is positive-definite $g_t$ is non-degenerate for ...

Does the parallelogram law for vectors of equal length imply the full parallelogram law? That is, if for all norm one vectors $x$ and $y$ in a Banach space $X$ it holds that $\lVert x-y\rVert^2+\lVert ...

Let us consider Minkowski inner product on $\mathbb R^{1+n}$, defined by $$ \langle v,w \rangle = -v_0w_0+\sum_{j=1}^n v_j w_j\quad \,\forall\, v,w \in \mathbb R^{1+n}.$$ We say that a vector $v$ is ...

Let $v_1,v_2\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be two fixed vectors, and $\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle_{\mathbb{R}^d}$ be the usual Euclidean inner product in $\mathbb{R}^d$. My question is as follows. Is there an (...

Definition: Let V be complex finite dimensional inner product space Complex Conjugate: $J$ is called complex conjugate on V iff $(i) J$ is antilinear $(ii) J^2 =I$ Definition: Anti-unitary Complex ...
