 | | I shall not, for the present at least, assume that g is positive definite; I shall mainly focus on the case where it is symmetric and invertible. |
 | | Since a composite of two antilinears is linear, rather than antilinear, and I want to compose unitary mappings, the linear g-unitary mappings present themselves as the more convenient of the pair of isomorphic notions. |
 | | is a linear unitary; indeed, any composite of unitaries will be unitary, and either linear or antilinear according as an even or odd number of the unitaries composed were antilinear. |
