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 , .
This motivates the introduction of an inner product on the vector space of abstract quantum states, compatible with the mathematical observations above when passing to a representation. It is denoted (Ψ, Φ), or in the Bra–ket notation Ψ|Φ . It yields a complex number. With the inner product, the function space is an inner product space.
The function is called the reproducing kernel, and it reproduces the value of at via the inner product. An immediate consequence of this property is that convergence in norm implies uniform convergence on any subset of X {\displaystyle X} on which ‖ K x ‖ {\displaystyle \|K_{x}\|} is bounded.
In differential geometry, the first fundamental form is the inner product on the tangent space of a surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space which is induced canonically from the dot product of R 3. It permits the calculation of curvature and metric properties of a surface such as length and area in a manner consistent with the ambient space.
In mathematics, a self-adjoint operator on a complex vector space V with inner product , is a linear map A (from V to itself) that is its own adjoint. That is, A x , y = x , A y {\displaystyle \langle Ax,y\rangle =\langle x,Ay\rangle } for all x , y {\displaystyle x,y} ∊ V .

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 ...
