Totally real subspaces of complex modules #
This file gives an elementary example of a totally real real subspace of a complex module and develops the complex-linear algebra of maximal totally real subspaces. A real basis of such a subspace is a complex basis of the ambient space. Complex-linear automorphisms act transitively on these subspaces, and an endomorphism preserving one has real determinant.
Main declarations #
TauCeti.IsTotallyReal.linearIndependent_complex: real-linearly independent vectors of a totally real subspace are complex-linearly independent.TauCeti.IsMaximalTotallyReal.complexBasis: a real basis of a maximal totally real subspace, as a complex basis of the ambient space.TauCeti.IsMaximalTotallyReal.det_eq_det_restrict: a complex-linear map preserving a maximal totally real subspace has the same (real) determinant as its restriction.TauCeti.IsMaximalTotallyReal.exists_linearEquiv_map_eq: complex-linear automorphisms act transitively on maximal totally real subspaces.TauCeti.IsMaximalTotallyReal.isMaximalTotallyReal_prod: a direct sum of maximal totally real subspaces is maximal totally real in the product of the ambient complex modules.
The real span of vectors, one in each coordinate, is totally real. The image of the
real-linear map τ ↦ (τ i • v i)ᵢ from ι → ℝ to ι → ℂ meets its image under multiplication by
i only in 0.
Vectors of a totally real subspace of a complex module that are linearly independent over ℝ
are linearly independent over ℂ.
Vectors spanning a maximal totally real subspace over ℝ span the ambient complex module over
ℂ.
A real basis of a maximal totally real subspace L of a complex module E is a complex basis
of E: L is a real form of E.

The complex coordinates of a vector of L in complexBasis b are its real coordinates in
b.
A complex-linear automorphism maps maximal totally real subspaces to maximal totally real subspaces.
A maximal totally real subspace has real dimension equal to the complex dimension of the ambient module.
A complex-linear endomorphism f preserving a maximal totally real subspace L is the
complexification of its restriction to L, so its determinant is the (real) determinant of that
restriction.
The complex-linear automorphisms act transitively on the maximal totally real subspaces of a finite-dimensional complex module.
A direct sum of maximal totally real subspaces is maximal totally real. The coordinate
submodule L.prod M of a product of complex modules is maximal totally real for multiplication by
i whenever the two summands are.
