Hermitian form

The complex number analogue of a symmetric bilinear form.

The prototypical example of it is the complex dot product.

Note that this form is neither strictly symmetric, it satisfies:

< x, y > = \overline{< y, x >}

where the over bar indicates the complex conjugate, nor is it linear for complex scalar multiplication on the second argument.
