Complex Conjugate Vector Space
In mathematics, the (formal) complex conjugate of a complex vector space is the complex vector space consisting of all formal complex conjugates of elements of . That is, is a vector space whose elements are in one-to-one correspondence with the elements of :
with the following rules for addition and scalar multiplication:
Here and are vectors in, is a complex number, and denotes the complex conjugate of .
More concretely, the complex conjugate vector space is the same underlying real vector space (same set of points, same vector addition and real scalar multiplication) with the conjugate linear complex structure J (different multiplication by i).
In the case where is a linear subspace of, the formal complex conjugate is naturally isomorphic to the actual complex conjugate subspace of in .

Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or space:
“We must open our eyes and see that modern civilization has become so complex and the lives of civilized men so interwoven with the lives of other men in other countries as to make it impossible to be in this world and out of it.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“... the space left to freedom is very small. ... ends are inherent in human nature and the same for all.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
