The dimension of a totally real subspace #
A totally real subspace L for a linear endomorphism J is disjoint from its J-image, and a
maximal totally real subspace is complementary to it (TauCeti.LinearAlgebra.TotallyReal.Basic).
When J is injective on L, L and J(L) have the same dimension, so these two conditions
become dimension statements: a totally real subspace has at most half the dimension of the
ambient space, and a maximal totally real subspace has exactly half
(TauCeti.IsTotallyReal.isMaximalTotallyReal_iff_two_mul_finrank_eq).
This is the linear-algebra half of the statement that the totally real tori T_α, T_β in the
symmetric product Sym^g(Σ) of a Heegaard surface are g-dimensional in the 2g-dimensional
Sym^g(Σ) (Ozsváth--Szabó, arXiv:math/0101206, Section 2);
the corresponding half-dimensionality of Lagrangian subspaces is the same count. Nothing here
needs a symplectic form or an almost complex structure: only injectivity of J on L is used,
which is automatic when J² = -1.

A totally real subspace has at most half the dimension of the ambient space.
A totally real subspace of exactly half the ambient dimension is maximal totally real: the
dimension count forces the sum L ⊔ J(L) to be everything.
A maximal totally real subspace has exactly half the dimension of the ambient space.
The ambient space of a maximal totally real subspace is even-dimensional.
A maximal totally real subspace is half-dimensional.
A totally real subspace is maximal totally real exactly when it is half-dimensional.
