Almost complex structures preserving a quadratic form #
Let Q be a quadratic form on a real vector space V and J an almost complex structure on V
preserving Q. Then J preserves the polar form of Q and is antisymmetric for it. The
complex-linear extension of J to ℂ ⊗[ℝ] V preserves Q.baseChange ℂ, so its eigenspaces
ker (J - i) and ker (J + i) are totally isotropic: if J w = ± i w then
Q w = Q (J w) = (± i)² Q w = -Q w.
The pairing of the (1,0)- and (0,1)-parts v^(1,0) = (v - i J v) / 2 and
v^(0,1) = (v + i J v) / 2 is computed from the real polar form:
polar (v^(1,0)) (w^(0,1)) = (polar Q v w + i · polar Q v (J w)) / 2.

J as an isometry of Q #
A Q-preserving almost complex structure, as an isometry of Q.
Instances For
The polar form of a quadratic form is preserved by a Q-preserving almost complex
structure.
The polar form of a J-preserved quadratic form is antisymmetric under moving J across:
polar Q (J v) w = -polar Q v (J w).
The complexification of a Q-preserving almost complex structure preserves the
base-changed form.
Isotropy of the eigenspaces #
The i-eigenspace of the complexification of a Q-preserving almost complex structure is
totally isotropic for the base-changed form.
The -i-eigenspace of the complexification of a Q-preserving almost complex structure is
totally isotropic for the base-changed form.
The pairing of the two parts #
The pairing of the (1,0)- and (0,1)-parts. For a quadratic form Q preserved by J,
the base-changed polar form pairs v^(1,0) with w^(0,1) to
(polar Q v w + i · polar Q v (J w)) / 2.
