Self-adjoint, skew-adjoint and normal elements of a star additive group #
This file defines selfAdjoint R (resp. skewAdjoint R), where R is a star additive group,
as the additive subgroup containing the elements that satisfy star x = x (resp. star x = -x).
This includes, for instance, (skew-)Hermitian operators on Hilbert spaces.
We also define IsStarNormal R, a Prop that states that an element x satisfies
star x * x = x * star x.
Implementation notes #
- When Ris aStarModule R₂ R, thenselfAdjoint Rhas a naturalModule (selfAdjoint R₂) (selfAdjoint R)structure. However, doing this literally would be undesirable since in the main case of interest (R₂ = ℂ) we wantModule ℝ (selfAdjoint R)and notModule (selfAdjoint ℂ) (selfAdjoint R). We solve this issue by adding the typeclass[TrivialStar R₃], of whichℝis an instance (registered inData/Real/Basic), and then add a[Module R₃ (selfAdjoint R)]instance whenever we have[Module R₃ R] [TrivialStar R₃]. (Another approach would have been to define[StarInvariantScalars R₃ R]to express the fact thatstar (x • v) = x • star v, but this typeclass would have the disadvantage of taking two type arguments.)
TODO #
- Define IsSkewAdjointto matchIsSelfAdjoint.
- Define fun z x => z * x * star z(i.e. conjugation byz) as a monoid action ofRonR(similar to the existingConjActfor groups), and then state the fact thatselfAdjoint Ris invariant under it.
An element is self-adjoint if it is equal to its star.
Equations
- IsSelfAdjoint x = (star x = x)
Instances For
All elements are self-adjoint when star is trivial.
Self-adjoint elements commute if and only if their product is self-adjoint.
Functions in a StarHomClass preserve self-adjoint elements.
