Operators on positive semidefinite inner product spaces

Representation Theory 2020-12-29 v1

Abstract

We give canonical forms of selfadjoint and isometric operators on a complex vector space UU with scalar product given by a positive semidefinite Hermitian form, and of Hermitian forms on UU. For an arbitrary system of semiunitary spaces and linear mappings on/between them, we give an algorithm that reduces their matrices to canonical form.
