Complex Conjugate Vector Space
In mathematics, the (formal) complex conjugate of a complex vector space is the complex vector space consisting of all formal complex conjugates of elements of . That is, is a vector space whose elements are in one-to-one correspondence with the elements of :
with the following rules for addition and scalar multiplication:
Here and are vectors in, is a complex number, and denotes the complex conjugate of .
More concretely, the complex conjugate vector space is the same underlying real vector space (same set of points, same vector addition and real scalar multiplication) with the conjugate linear complex structure J (different multiplication by i).
In the case where is a linear subspace of, the formal complex conjugate is naturally isomorphic to the actual complex conjugate subspace of in .

“All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“There is commonly sufficient space about us. Our horizon is never quite at our elbows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
