In mathematics, a reality structure on a complex vector space ''V'' is a decomposition of ''V'' into two real subspaces, called the real and imaginary parts of ''V'': : Here ''V''R is a real subspace of ''V'', i.e. a subspace of ''V'' considered as a vector space over the real numbers. If ''V'' has complex dimension ''n'' (real dimension 2''n''), then ''V''R must have real dimension ''n''. The standard reality structure on the vector space is the decomposition : In the presence of a reality structure, every vector in ''V'' has a real part and an imaginary part, each of which is a vector in ''V''R: : In this case, the complex conjugate of a vector ''v'' is defined as follows: : This map is an antilinear involution, i.e. : Conversely, given an antilinear involution on a complex vector space ''V'', it is possible to define a reality structure on ''V'' as follows. Let : and define : Then : This is actually the decomposition of ''V'' as the eigenspaces of the real linear operator ''c''. The eigenvalues of ''c'' are +1 and −1, with eigenspaces ''V''R and ''V''R, respectively. Typically, the operator ''c'' itself, rather than the eigenspace decomposition it entails, is referred to as the reality structure on ''V''. ==See also== *Linear complex structure *Complexification 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reality structure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
