A linear map S from W to V is an adjoint of a linear map T from V to W, between complex inner product spaces, when the inner product of Sw with v equals that of w with Tv.

Statement

Let $V$ and $W$ be complex inner product spaces with inner products $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{V}$ and $\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle_{W}$ , and let $T:V\to W$ and $S:W\to V$ be linear maps.

¶The map $S$ is an adjoint of $T$ if

\langle Sw,v\rangle_{V}=\langle w,Tv\rangle_{W}\qquad\text{for all }v\in V\text{ and }w\in W.
