Definition
Let be a vector space over . An inner product on is a function that assigns, to every ordered pair of vectors and in , a scalar in , denoted , such that for all , and in and all in , the following hold
(a) .
(b)
(c) where the bar denotes complex conjugation.
(d) If , then is a positive real number.
