Complex Semi-Inner Product

Let $V$ be a vector space over a complex subfield $\GF$.


A (complex) semi-inner product is a mapping $\innerprod \cdot \cdot: V \times V \to \GF$ that satisfies the (complex) semi-inner product axioms:

\((1)\)   $:$   Conjugate Symmetry      \(\ds \forall x, y \in V:\) \(\ds \quad \innerprod x y = \overline {\innerprod y x} \)      
\((2)\)   $:$   Sesquilinearity      \(\ds \forall x, y, z \in V, \forall a \in \GF:\) \(\ds \quad \innerprod {a x + y} z = a \innerprod x z + \innerprod y z \)      
\((3)\)   $:$   Non-Negative Definiteness      \(\ds \forall x \in V:\) \(\ds \quad \innerprod x x \in \R_{\ge 0} \)
