Scalar extension of an integral bilinear form #
This file specializes IsBaseChange.bilinForm to integral lattices and their rational and
complex scalar extensions. The two extensions agree on purely rational vectors of the
complexification.
Two properties make the complex extension usable in Hodge theory. It is real: conjugating both
arguments conjugates the value, because lattice-induced conjugation fixes the integral vectors. And
it is nondegenerate as soon as the integral form is: nondegeneracy is preserved first by
localization from ℤ to ℚ and then by scalar extension from ℚ to ℂ.
Main declarations #
TauCeti.Hodge.bilinForm_latticeConj: the complex extension commutes with lattice-induced conjugation.TauCeti.Hodge.nondegenerate_bilinForm_complex: the complex extension inherits nondegeneracy from the integral form.TauCeti.Hodge.bilinForm_rationalToComplexLinearEquiv_one_tmul: the complexified form computes the rationalified one on purely rational vectors.
Complexifying the linear map from a bilinear form to the dual gives the linear map of the complexified form.
Conjugating the second argument of a complexified integral form against an integral first argument conjugates its value.
Conjugating both arguments of a complexified integral form conjugates its value: the form takes real values on the lattice.
Complexification preserves nondegeneracy of an integral bilinear form.
Comparing the rational and the complex extension #
The two scalar extensions of an integral form agree: on purely rational vectors of the complexification, the complexified form takes the values of the rationalified form.
