The Standard Inner Product Makes the Complex Coordinate Space an Inner Product Space

Statement

Let nn be a natural number, let Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} be the complex coordinate space, which is a complex vector space by The Complex Coordinate Space is a Complex Vector Space, and let ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle be the standard inner product on it. Then the following hold.

1. (Inner product) ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle satisfies the four conditions of Complex Inner Product Space; consequently Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} together with ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle is a complex inner product space.

2. (Induced norm) The norm induced by the inner product satisfies

∥u∥2=∑k=1n∣uk∣2(u∈Cn),\lVert u\rVert^{2}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}|u_{k}|^{2}\qquad(u\in\mathbb{C}^{n}),

with the modulus of a complex number and the finite sum taken in the field of real numbers.
