Complexification

In mathematics, the complexification of a vector space V over the field of real numbers (a "real vector space") yields a vector space VC over the complex number field, obtained by formally extending the scaling of vectors by real numbers to include their scaling ("multiplication") by complex numbers. Any basis for V (a space over the real numbers) may also serve as a basis for VC over the complex numbers. (Wikipedia).

What are complex numbers? | Essence of complex analysis #2

A complete guide to the basics of complex numbers. Feel free to pause and catch a breath if you feel like it - it's meant to be a crash course! Complex numbers are useful in basically all sorts of applications, because even in the real world, making things complex sometimes, oxymoronicall

Complexification

The complexification of a real vector space. The complexification of an operator on a real vector space. Every operator on a nonzero finite-dimensional real vector space has an invariant subspace of dimension 1 or 2. Every operator on an odd-dimensional real vector space has an eigenvalue.

Extending the Prym map - Samuel Grushevsky

Samuel Grushevsky Stony Brook University February 10, 2015 The Torelli map associates to a genus g curve its Jacobian - a gg-dimensional principally polarized abelian variety. It turns out, by the works of Mumford and Namikawa in the 1970s (resp. Alexeev and Brunyate in 2010s), that the T

Trace of an Operator and of a Matrix

Trace of an operator defined to be the sum of the eigenvalues (or of the eigenvalues of the complexification), repeated according to multiplicity. Trace of a matrix defined to be the sum of the squares of the diagonal enties. The connection between these two notions of trace.
