Suppose $V$ is a real vector space and $T in mathcal{L}(V)$ satisfies $T^2 = -I$. Define complex scalar multiplication on $V$ as follows: if $a, b in mathbb{R}$, then $(a + bi)v = av + bTv$. (a) Show that the complex scalar multiplication on $V$ defined above and the addition on $V$ makes $V$ into a complex vector space. (b) Show that the dimension of $V$ as a complex vector space is half the dimension of $V$ as a real vector space.

Step 1

First, we need to show that the complex scalar multiplication and the addition on V satisfy the axioms of a complex vector space. (a) Associativity of addition: For any u, v, w ∈ V, we have (u + v) + w = u + (v + w) since V is a real vector space. (b) Show more…

Suppose V is a real vector space and T ∈ L(V) satisfies T^2 = -I. Define complex scalar multiplication on V as follows: if a, b ∈ R, then (a + bi)v = av + bTv. (a) Show that the complex scalar multiplication on V defined above and the addition on V makes V into a complex vector space. (b) Show that the dimension of V as a complex vector space is half the dimension of V as a real vector space.
