Indefinite inner product space information


In mathematics, in the field of functional analysis, an indefinite inner product space

is an infinite-dimensional complex vector space equipped with both an indefinite inner product

and a positive semi-definite inner product

where the metric operator is an endomorphism of obeying

The indefinite inner product space itself is not necessarily a Hilbert space; but the existence of a positive semi-definite inner product on implies that one can form a quotient space on which there is a positive definite inner product. Given a strong enough topology on this quotient space, it has the structure of a Hilbert space, and many objects of interest in typical applications fall into this quotient space.

An indefinite inner product space is called a Krein space (or -space) if is positive definite and possesses a majorant topology. Krein spaces are named in honor of the Soviet mathematician Mark Grigorievich Krein.
