Similar to the complex Euclidean space, we can introduce a complex Hilbert space. Its construction is based on similar axioms, (A.33) - (A.37), to those for a real Hilbert space, but with one significant modification. The point is that the axioms (A.33) -(A.37) cannot be satisfied simultaneously in a complex space. In fact, from (A.33) and (A.35) it follows that... 

A locally one-dlinensional scheme (LOS) for the heat conduction equation in an arbitrary domain. The method of summarized approximation can find a wide range of application in designing economical additive schemes for parabolic equations in the domains of rather complicated configurations and shapes. More a detailed exploration is devoted to a locally one-dimensional problem for the heat conduction equation in a complex domain G = G -f F of the dimension p. Let x — (sj, 2,..., a- p) be a point in the Euclidean space R. ... 

Suppose that V is a finite-dimensional complex vector space. By the definition this means that V has a finite basis. It turns out that all the different bases of V must be the same size. This is geometrically plausible for real Euclidean vector spaces, where one can visualize a basis of size one determiiung a line, a basis of size two determining a plane, and so on. The same is true for complex vector spaces. A key part of the proof, useful in its own right, is the following fact. 

Let us calculate, for future reference, the dimension of the complex vector space of homogeneous polynomials (with complex coefficients) of degree n on various Euclidean spaces. Homogeneous polynomials of degree n on the real line R are particularly simple. This complex vector space is onedimensional for each n. In fact, every element has the form ex for some c e C. In other words, the one-element set x" is a finite basis for the homogeneous polynomials of degree n on the real line. 

The natural mathematical setting for any quantum mechanical problem is a complex scalar product space, dehned in Dehnition 3.2. The primary complex scalar product space used in the study of the motion of a particle in three-space is called (R ), pronounced ell-two-of-are-three. Our analysis of the hydrogen atom (and hence the periodic table) will require a few other complex scalar product spaces as well. Also, the representation theory we will introduce and use depends on the abstract nohon of a complex scalar product space. In this chapter we introduce the complex vector space dehne complex scalar products, discuss and exploit analogies between complex scalar products and the familiar Euclidean dot product and do some of the analysis necessary to apply these analogies to inhnite-dimensional complex scalar product spaces. 

A geometric simplicial p-complex k(p) is a finite set of disjoint q-simplices of the n-dimensional Euclidean space "E, where q = 0, I,. .. p, such that, if... 

The complement of the real hyperplane arrangement is just a union of contractible spaces these are the pieces into which the hyperplanes cut the Euclidean space. Proposition 9.7 implies that the sum of the nonreduced Betti numbers of the complement of the complexification of a real hyperplane arrangement is equal to the number of these pieces. For instance, the braid arrangement Ad cuts R into d pieces, indexed by all possible orderings of the coordinates therefore the sum of the Betti numbers of the complex braid arrangement is equal to d. ... 

In Euclidean space, it can be seen that the weighted Voronoi regions and all their intersections are contractible therefore it follows by the nerve lemma (Theorem 15.21) that the dual complex of a ball collection is homotopy equivalent to the union of these balls. 

To set up the problem and in order to appreciate more fully the difficulty in quantifying complexity, consider figure 12.1. The figure shows three patterns (a) an area of a regular two-dimensional Euclidean lattice, (b) a space-time view of the evolution of the nearest-neighbor one-dimensional cellular automata rule RllO, starting from a random initial state,f and (c) a completely random collection of dots. 

Jourjine [jour85] generalizes Euclidean lattice field theory on a d-dimensional lattice to a cell complex. He uses homology theory to replace points by cells of various dimensions and fields by functions on cells, the cochains, in hopes of developing a formalism that treats space-time as a dynamical variable and describes the change in the dimension of space-time as a phase transition (see figure 12.19). 

The first assumption of quantum mechanics is that each state of a mobile particle in Euclidean three-space can be described by a complex-valued function of three real variables (called a wave function ) satisfying... 

Euclidean-style Geometry in Complex Scalar Product Spaces 85... 

Since a complex scalar product resembles the EucUdean dot product in its form and definition, we can use our intuition about perpendicularity in the Euclidean three-space we inhabit to study complex scalar product spaces. However, we must be aware of two important differences. Eirst, we are dealing with complex scalars rather than real scalars. Second, we are often dealing with infinite-dimensional spaces. It is easy to underestimate the trouble that infinite dimensions can cause. If this section seems unduly technical (especially the introduction to orthogonal projections), it is because we are careful to avoid the infinite-dimensional traps. 

In this section we have extended perpendicularity and orthogonal projections to the context of complex scalar product spaces. In the next section we extend another Euclidean idea—distance.
