Complex space

The unitary transform does the same thing as a similarity transform, except that it operates in a complex space rather than a real space. Thinking in terms of an added imaginary dimension for each real dimension, the space of the unitary matrix is a 2m-dimensionaI space. The unitary transform is introduced here because atomic or molecular wave functions may be complex. 

For a given value of lu, equation (6.9) represents a point in complex space P(lu). When LU is varied from zero to infinity, a locus will be generated in the complex space. This locus, shown in Figure 6.2, is in effect a polar plot, and is sometimes called a harmonic response diagram. An important feature of such a diagram is that its shape is uniquely related to the dynamic characteristics of the system. 

Hence equation (6.14) can be plotted in the complex space (Argand Diagram) to produce a harmonic response diagram as shown in Figure 6.3.

The concept of a coset space is discussed in detail in books on group theory (Gilmore, 1974) and is reviewed in Chapter 3 of Iachello and Arima (1987). The coset spaces of interest for algebraic models with structure U(n) are the spaces U(n)/U(n - 1) U(l). These spaces are complex spaces with (n - 1) complex variables (coordinates and momenta).

Good examples are the core hole excited states of homonuclear molecules. When one electron is removed from a core orbital, the original Dooh symmetry is lowered to C v The D h group can be decomposed into two CooV components related by a C, or Cs operation, so it is fair to consider that the core-hole excited states are described by resonance between the two structures. The adiabatic subsystems have, by definition, zero overlap in the real space. Their interaction is defined only in complex space through the explicit overlap between the many-electron states. 

In the previous section, we have distinguished between systems that grow either with time or with space. In reality, many flows display a complex space-time dependence for the disturbance evolution. In contrast to laminar flows, transitional and turbulent flows display broad-band spectra in wave number and circular frequencies. Thus, it facilitates to discuss such flow... 

Similar to the real Euclidean space, we can introduce linear operators and functionals in the complex speice, however, the functionals in the complex space may have complex values. 

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... 

From the last formula we see that if (if, if) > 0, then (f, f) < 0, and vice versa, which contradicts axiom (A.36). Therefore, we have to introduce a different definition for the inner product of two vectors in the complex space. It is defined as a complexvalued functional, (f,g), with the properties...

The product operator can clearly describe the spin behavior, and is the base of many multinuclear multidimensional NMR pulse sequences.14,16,20 The pulse sequence is a technique to visualize the invisible phenomena by rotation in complex space. This technique has much potential.

(A) The black and stippled areas correspond to dense and less dense HRP concentrations. The solid arrows delinate borders between the flocculus, ventral and dorsal paraflocculus. (B) 1-5 are rostral-caudal brainstem sections through the left vestibular complex spaced approximately 400 fim apart. The filled circles correspond to HRP- and ChAT-labelled neurons. The open circles correspond to ChAT-labelled neurons only. The filled diamonds correspond to HRP-labelled neurons only.

To summarize, we have seen that it is possible to explain the degeneracy pattern characteristic of a three-dimensional harmonic oscillator by introducing, as a proper symmetry group of the Hamiltonian operator (here referred to as the degeneracy group), a group of unitary transformations in a three-dimensional complex space. 

One hypothesis is dial complex space radiation may particularly interfere with redox signalling of the photosynthetic electron transfer.
