The Complex Hilbert Completion is a Complex Hilbert Space Containing a Dense Isometric Image, and Bounded Complex-Linear Maps Extend to It
theoremAnalysisthm:hilbert-completion-complex-2026aThe complex Hilbert completion of a positive semidefinite Hermitian form is a complex Hilbert space; the canonical map is complex-linear and carries the form to the inner product; its image is dense; and bounded complex-linear maps into a complex Hilbert space extend uniquely and continuously.
In the setting of Complex Hilbert Spaces and Bounded Linear Maps: Standing Notation, let be a complex vector space, let satisfy the hypotheses of Bounded Linear Maps between Complex Inner Product Spaces: the Least Bound, Operations, the Underlying Real Structure, Adjoints, Completeness and the Quadratic-Form Bound §real-structure, and let , , and be the complex Hilbert completion of , its pairing, the extended multiplication by and the canonical map; is the norm of the underlying real Hilbert completion , .
