2910:, ...", I'd agree with you. Either change that (though I think you'd find that a hard sell: mathematicians might say it belongs in a mathematical discipline), or bring in notable references from general linear algebraists. The references are heavily skewed to Hilbert spaces and quantum mechanics; in fact, this article few references. Some mathematicians also tend to put normed spaces in primary position, so I understand that there will still be tension between the ideas even regarded within the scope of mathematics. The question becomes: within mathematics, how is the term used generally? I've provided a counterexample that suggests a presentation in which the concept of an inner product that naturally becomes positive-definite when applied in the context of a Hilbert spaces. In a way, this might be the usual tension between: do we present the familiar scope first, then give a "generalizations" section, or do we define the concept as the more general case, and then expand on the more familiar case? I think it comes down to what mathematicians generally consider the term to mean. — 1107:
course vector spaces (usually), so functions are vectors (and vectors are functions, in fact). I think that when you start using the vocabulary of "inner product space", you are usually in a case where almost everything is a vector and only very few objects are scalars, which you then denote by Greek letters since too much boldface or arrows would be more confusing than helpful. (Boldface is then sometimes rather used for matrices of scalars and the special case of coordinate "vectors", i.e. column matrices.) (In some rare cases, a little lack of notational consistency can be more pedagogical than too much notational rigidity.) However, this article is somewhere in the middle between these two worlds, and if you wish to put all vectors in boldface, please don't hesitate and do it! —

either be defined in the mathematical way, or it should be made clear that this is a definition for physics and that mathematicians use another convention. As to the suggestion that this "convention seems to be working its way into recent mathematics", even if this is so, it is certainly not standard practice yet (for example, most university mathematics courses, and every textbook I have seen, would define the innner product as being linear in the 1st argument), and if I understand Knowledge's ethos correctly, the article should reflect current practice.
95: 85: 64: 31: 1578:@JBL: Thanks for your comments. Yeah, got it regarding "basis"; obviously I was intending the everyday meaning. Anyhow, it's still a mystery to me what "naturally" means. Does it just trivially mean "oh look, combined with square root we have Pythagoras, which is the length of a vector in ordinary geometry, and hence it's a useful norm"? Or "naturally" mean something more profound? 3530:, since such a title suggest that the content is an editorial synthesis. Indeed the second subsection of "Remark" (that is, "Base field") is pure original synthesis and does not belong to the article. On the other hand, the other subsection, called "Notation and the antilinear argument" deserve to appear in its own section, called "convention variant", with an improved writing. 22: 3613:
some stuff about additivity; I'm fine with this removal. But your new section on "alternative definitions" seems unnecessary and verbose. I could see having a sentence or two here about what a "hermitian form" is or whatever, but not three paragraphs. Actually the original version has the couple of sentences I'm envisioning, in the middle of "Elementary Properties".
1401:, and this link goes to an explanation - except that the section link is broken, and the linked article talks about the metric without saying that it's a metric, and in any case its talking about a metric induced by a norm, and no norm has been mentioned at the point of the cryptic link. So, yes, it's pretty bad, and a number of fixes are needed, both here and in the 1812:, which is the commonest and simplest instance of an inner product. That article is linked in the first paragraph, and I would expect anyone looking for it will find that article first – "dot product" is the name most often used when it's being studied at high school level. That does include numerical examples.-- 1600:"Naturally" is a term that seems to be used extensively in mathematics, meaning (I infer as a non-mathematician) that in there is some sense essentially only one way to do it. Sometimes, that means that there may technically be any number of ways to do it, but that all those ways are equivalent/indistinguishable/ 1835:
additional structure, such as a distinguished automorphism." No reason or reference is given for this assertion (either for the fact that additional structure is needed, or exactly what that additional structure has to be). "Distinguished automorphism" is not defined, and there is no link to a definition.

Here is an important issue: A non-expert reader must easily know which properties are specific to inner product spaces, and which are general properties of normed spaces. He must also clearly understand that giving an inner product is equivalent to give a definite Hermitian form. Presently, all these

I'm not really a mathematician, but this is very difficult to understand! I feel like this ought to be a simple operation, but it is very difficult to tell what the inner product is actually doing based on how the article is written. I'm sure everything is correct, but having never seen this before I

This article should be accessible to mathematicians and engineers alike, so perhaps it needs a bit of a rewrite. Perhaps the use of the term "space" could be avoided in the early stages of the decription (even though familiarity with the properties of vectors implies familiarity with a vector space,

Frankly I dont see a point to the discussion in the first place. I dont know why this is a notable topic. Given the conjugate symmetry property and linearity in either term, you can easily prove linearity in the other term. Its arbitrary and moot. I get the sense that you guys are approaching this
3348:
I see a long Remarks section in 2. I think this content is interesting but it should not be at that place in that form. For the question about which position should be linear, the sentence or two in Note 1 seems sufficient, and if there should be more content about this, it should be further down,
2654:
As the inner product maps to the underlying field of scalars, and the complex field lacks an order relation, how does the inequality in the axiom on positive definiteness make sense? Should the left-hand side of the inequality be the _norm_ of the inner product of the vector with itself, instead of
1630:
Huh? So there's a thing called a pre-Hilbert space, which is incomplete, and has an inner product, but because it has an inner product it also has a norm, and because it has a norm it is "complete with respect to the norm", and therefore it's a Hilbert space. So according to this sentence, there is
1559:
It means that if you give me the inner product, I can use it to produce (in a natural way) a norm. Your two sentences together get close; the second sentence is problematic because of the use of "basis". This is explained more fully in the body of the article: "However, inner product spaces have a

I suppose nobody cares... if you work for some time in vector spaces (which often will be spaces of functions defined on other vector spaces), you sooner or later stop putting arrows on all these vectors - actually it would rather confuse me to see arrows on functions, but spaces of functions are of

I'm fine with merging the sentence "In this article, the field of scalars denoted F..." into the following sentence and making F mathBF. I generally don't like the other changes to "Definition" -- making it more complicated, adding the small/bold/right-justified/parenthetical labels. You took out

Ok. I agree the part about base field is OR, and the dot product is mentioned in the first paragraph of the lead already. I deleted them, and most of the stuff about bra-ket notation, leaving just a couple of sentences in a "convention variant" section, which mostly still needs to be written, but I

Just now, I remark that after his first revert, Mgkrupa did several edits that I reverted with my subsequent reverts. This includes the new section on completeness and Hilbert spaces; see below. Also, Mgkrupa has edited other parts of the article. I have not checked them, and thus I have no opinion

2 formats more of the math as html, e.g {{math...}}. I think the MOS policy is not to make sweeping changes to the math formatting without a good reason? So is D. Lazard's version the "original" here? Mgkrupa, do you want to argue for this change? Should we just agree to a policy for this article

2873:
Kaplansky goes on to describe a broadening of the theory to alternating and Hermitian forms, but it is not clear to me whether he is including these under the definition of inner product spaces, though he does indicate that it can make sense to include such generalizations from the start. So: is

As suggested by a few threads above, the restriction to positive-definiteness seems to be discipline-specific. Just because some fields (e.g. quantum mechanics) choose to restrict the types of inner products that they work with does not mean that their restrictions should be imposed on the whole

Perhaps you would like to look at euclidean space where the inner product really is a simple operation? And for not so simple inner products, consult Sobolev spaces where the inner product involves the weak derivatives of functions? In an abstract Hilbert space, the inner product really just is a

I, and I belive most mathematicians, regard the inner product as being linear in the 1st argument. While I appreciate that this may be inconsistent with the way physicists use the inner product, the article seems to be written as if it were from a mathematical viewpoint, and so I think it should

In addition to this the definition of non-degeneracy is misleading: a non-degenerate inner product is one for which the matrix that generates it is non-singular. An hermitian matrix of signature (n,1) has an entire subspace of zero vectors in C^{n+1}, but the hermitian form is non-degenerate. The

Although it is hinted in the article that inner product (over Euclidean spaces) is related to intuitive definition of angle, and infact the inner product is used to define the angle (in the subsection "Norm"), it would be beneficial to show that this indeed corresponds in Euclidean spaces to the

Though I am used to Sequilinearity as measing linear in 1st argument, most physicists use the other convention. I have edited some articles with this assumption; moreover, many of the quantum mechanics articles naturally follow the physicist's convention. At this point the physicist's convention

It doesn't make any sense for the first mention of "Hilbert" on this page to be a non-Hilbert example without explaining what a Hilbert space is. I think the 1-d examples should be cut and the examples should be: R^n, C^n, an actual Hilbert example (starting with one sentence explaining that a

Thanks for the reply, and sorry about the delay on my part. The key is that the norm is used in the act ("completion") of creating a new space whose properties qualify it to be a Hilbert space. This is obfuscated by the current wording "becomes a Hilbert space". There is actually no space that

In the intro: "An inner product naturally induces an associated norm" What do the words "naturally" and "induces" mean in this context? Is it possible to "unnaturally induce" something? Does this sentence translate in plain english simply to: "An inner product implies an associated norm", or

This article is confusing without some prior knowledge of what the inner product is by itself. I can see how the concept of an inner product space is closely related to that of an inner product... but this article seems to be written with the assumption that the reader already knows about inner
3507:
I see. I have changed the Rs and Cs. I'm confused about the Remarks section. You complained about it but Mgkrupa said he did not add it (he just reorganized it into a higher-level section), and your version (10:28, 22 December) has essentially the same content in an "Alternative definitions,

2 has a properties section at the top of "Basic results, terminology, and definitions" about L-semi-inner-products and Hamel basis, which are not topics I'm familiar with. This definitely shouldn't be the first subsection of this section, but I don't have an objection to it being moved to the
1502:
If the vast majority of visitors to this article are already familiar with vector spaces, then this is probably not a problem. (Since getting at the definition of the inner product becomes a relatively simple process of elimination in this case.) Maybe I am just a bit too far from my field.
3349:
at least under the examples and basic properties. The part about the base field can be discussed (ideally more concisely) in the section about "Real and complex parts of inner products", or perhaps immediately before that subsection. But it shouldn't delay the examples and basic properties.
1834:
In the "Remark", under the "Definition", it is stated that it is necessary to restrict the basefield to R or C. This statement is contradicted in the same paragraph by the statement that any quadratically closed subfield of R or C will suffice. It is stated that "The basefield has to have

Could we add an explanation on how the inner-product is related to Dirac notation? Perhaps I am requesting a discussion on the notion of dual spaces and inner-products. In "Principles of Quantum Mechanics," Shankar mentions that one can think of the inner-product as a mapping from
944:), as it's often important for a system to be able to perform this particular operation quickly -- system performance is sometimes measured in "dot products per second". I'd be in favour of rewording the intro to say that these things are related, and not simply the same thing. 3654:, for one). The elaboration of positive definite into definite and positive semi-definite is unnecessary. The discussion of Hermitian forms is still too long. Maybe a sentence could be added about the alternative definition of an inner product space, but not two paragraphs. 1476:
It seems to me that the article can hardly be improved in this respect. Defining an inner product cannot be done without first defining vectors and a vector space, and only then defining the the inner product, upon which the article focusses in its lead and first section
1121:
They really should put the vectors in boldface to distinguish them from scalars. I know that mathematicians often don't do this, but there is no good reason not to. Otherwise beginners may be confused about which things are vectors and which things are scalars.

From the definitions of inner product and bilinear operator, follows that the inner product over a complex vector space isn't a bilinear form (but it is for real vector spaces). So, the definition in the article contains a wrong generalization:

I guess I'm the one responsible for that glaring ommission. All I can say in my defense is that I had a complete rewrite of this article in a browser window which crashed, completely draining my impetus. I guess I have to fix it.

My suggestion is to use 1 as a baseline and try to reach a compromise from there. Mgkrupa, are there other edits or specific disputes that I'm missing that way? Is there another version in the history that I should be looking at?

I dont know if the article has been changed since you made this comment, but it currently reads that F denotes the field of reals or complex, specifically in this article... not that the field always has to be reals or complex.

The definition given in MathWorld isn't even correct for a vector space over the complex numbers (since axiom 3 is wrong), and for an abstract base field it's meaningless (since the expression used in axiom 4 is undefined).

Thanks for the answer, though I still partially disagree. A basic understanding of vectors is certainly necessary. I'm not so sure about vector spaces. MathWorld does a pretty good job of giving the basic concept behind an

Agreed. There's some confusion, but I think the physicist's convention is the one to follow, since it has a good reason for using that order. The convention seems to be working its way into recent mathematics, as well.

I suggest changing "An orthonormal basis for an inner product space V is an orthonormal sequence whose algebraic span is V." to "An orthonormal basis for an inner product space V is an orthonormal sequence
3478:, and Mgkrupa added recently a section "Completeness and Hilbert spaces". IMO, both are badly written, and they deserve to be merged. However, this may hardly be done without cleaning up the awful section 2738:
Why must the inner product map to reals or complex numbers at all? Why cannot F be a general field? Do we have a generalized definition for inner products or does the field have to be specific to reals?
1646:
You are correct until "and because it has a norm". Rather, because it has a norm it can be completed in this norm to give a different space called its completion, and the completion is a Hilbert space.
2117: 3352:
2 has a sentence about dot products at the start of "some examples". This seems like it should be moved into the Euclidean space subsection, where there should be an example of using the dot notation.
