Schwarz reflection with a totally real linear boundary condition #
A holomorphic map into a finite-dimensional complex normed space, continuous up to the real axis and taking its boundary values in an affine maximal totally real subspace, extends holomorphically across the axis. In particular it is smooth up to the boundary, without any boundary differentiability assumption. This is the constant-coefficient local model for Cauchy--Riemann boundary regularity.
The extension domain can be any conjugation-invariant open subset of ℂ; smoothness up to the
boundary holds on any open domain. The target boundary condition is f z - q ∈ L, where L
is complementary to i L; neither a symplectic form nor a choice
of inner product is needed. A real basis of L gives complex coordinates on the target via
TauCeti.IsMaximalTotallyReal.complexBasis. Coordinatewise application of
TauCeti.differentiableOn_schwarzReflection_of_symmetric gives the extension.

Schwarz reflection for an affine maximal totally real subspace. A map holomorphic on
the open upper part of a conjugation-invariant open domain, continuous on its closed upper
part, and with boundary values in q + L, has an analytic extension to the whole domain.
