Complex-linear and complex-antilinear parts of a real-linear map #
Fix real vector spaces (or modules) V and W equipped with almost complex structures, that
is, real-linear endomorphisms J : V →ₗ[ℝ] V and J' : W →ₗ[ℝ] W with J ∘ J = -1 and
J' ∘ J' = -1. A real-linear map F : V →ₗ[ℝ] W is complex linear (with respect to the
pair (J, J')) when it commutes with the structures, F ∘ J = J' ∘ F, and complex
antilinear when it anticommutes, F ∘ J = -(J' ∘ F).
Every real-linear map splits canonically as the sum of a complex-linear and a complex-antilinear map,
F = complexLinearPart J J' F + complexAntilinearPart J J' F,
with complexLinearPart J J' F = ½ (F - J' ∘ F ∘ J) and
complexAntilinearPart J J' F = ½ (F + J' ∘ F ∘ J). This is the pointwise linearization at the
heart of the holomorphic theory: a smooth map between almost complex manifolds is
J-holomorphic exactly when its differential is complex linear, equivalently when its
complex-antilinear part ∂̄ vanishes. This file develops the linear-algebra layer of that
statement, before any smoothness or bundle structure is introduced.
