The Standard Basis of the Complex Coordinate Space is an Orthonormal Basis

Statement

Let nn be a natural number, let [n][n] be the initial segment determined by nn, and 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, together with the standard inner product ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle, a complex inner product space by claim 1 of The Standard Inner Product Makes the Complex Coordinate Space an Inner Product Space. Let ∥⋅∥\lVert\cdot\rVert be the induced norm, let ee be the nn-tuple in Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} whose components eke_{k} are the standard basis vectors, and let u,v∈Cnu,v\in\mathbb{C}^{n} have components uku_{k} and vkv_{k}. Sums of vectors are finite sums in Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} and sums of scalars are finite sums in a field; ∣z∣|z| is the modulus of a complex number zz and z‾\overline{z} its conjugate. Then the following hold.

1. (Components as coefficients) For every k∈[n]k\in[n],

⟨ek,u⟩=uk.\langle e_{k},u\rangle=u_{k}.

2. (Expansion)

u=∑k=1nukek.u=\sum_{k=1}^{n}u_{k}e_{k}.

3. (Orthonormal basis) The tuple ee is an orthonormal basis of Cn\mathbb{C}^{n}.

4. (Parseval)

⟨u,v⟩=∑k=1nuk‾ vk,∥u∥2=∑k=1n∣uk∣2.\langle u,v\rangle=\sum_{k=1}^{n}\overline{u_{k}}\,v_{k},\qquad \lVert u\rVert^{2}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}|u_{k}|^{2}.
