In mathematics, an inner product space (or, rarely, a Hausdorff pre-Hilbert space [1] [2]) is a real vector space or a complex vector space with an operation called an inner product. The inner product of two vectors in the space is a scalar , often denoted with angle brackets such as in a , b {\displaystyle \langle a,b\rangle } .
On a Krein space, the Hilbert inner product is positive definite, giving the structure of a Hilbert space (under a suitable topology). Under the weaker constraint K ± ⊂ K ± 0 {\displaystyle K_{\pm }\subset K_{\pm 0}} , some elements of the neutral subspace K 0 {\displaystyle K_{0}} may still be neutral in the Hilbert inner product, but many ...
The quotient space of by the vector subspace is an inner product space with the inner product defined by +, + := (),,, which is well-defined due to the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality. The Cauchy completion of A / I {\displaystyle A/I} in the norm induced by this inner product is a Hilbert space, which we denote by H {\displaystyle H} .
Hadamard product (matrices) Hilbert–Schmidt inner product; Kronecker product; Matrix analysis; Matrix multiplication; Matrix norm; Tensor product of Hilbert spaces – the Frobenius inner product is the special case where the vector spaces are finite-dimensional real or complex vector spaces with the usual Euclidean inner product
A real inner product space is defined in the same way, except that H is a real vector space and the inner product takes real values. Such an inner product will be a bilinear map and (,, , ) will form a dual system. [5]
In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, the polarization identity is any one of a family of formulas that express the inner product of two vectors in terms of the norm of a normed vector space. If a norm arises from an inner product then the polarization identity can be used to express this inner product entirely in terms of the norm. The ...
Since at each point x of the surface, the tangent space is an inner product space, the shape operator S x can be defined as a linear operator on this space by the formula (,) = ((),) for tangent vectors v, w (the inner product makes sense because dn(v) and w both lie in E 3).
Using the group structure, any inner product on the tangent space at the identity (or any other particular tangent space) can be transported to all other tangent spaces to define a Riemannian metric. Formally, given an inner product g e on the tangent space at the identity, the inner product on the tangent space at an arbitrary point p is ...
