Statement

Let $V$ together with $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle$ be a complex inner product space and let $W$ be a linear subspace of $V$ .

The orthogonal complement of $W$ is the set

W^{\perp}=\bigl\{x\in V\ :\ \langle w,x\rangle=0\ \text{ for every }w\in W\bigr\},

where $0$ is the zero element of the field of complex numbers.
