	PlanetMath: Hermitian matrix
		Hermitian matrices is a vector subspace in the vector space of complex matrices.
		Hermitian matrices are named after Charles Hermite (1822-1901) [2], who proved in 1855 that the eigenvalues of these matrices are always real [1].
		This is version 13 of Hermitian matrix, born on 2002-01-21, modified 2006-09-22.

	Ji: Toward an exact adjoint
		An adjoint operator to a forward modeling operator is often a good processing operator for estimating approximate model parameters from data that are assumed to follow the presumed forward modeling operator (Claerbout, 1992).
		The adjoint operator obtained by the first approach has a weighting factor that is the Jacobian, but the one found by the second approach does not have it.
		Even though this adjoint cannot be shown in an explicit matrix form because the model space is continuous (Figure frd-oprt), we can implement this easily by looping over the data space or, in other words, using the input-oriented algorithm.

	Quantum Mechanics: Matrix Mechanics and Wave Mechanics - Numericana
		Hermitian conjugation generalizes to vectors and operators the complex conjugation of scalars.
		We prefer to use the same notation X* for the hermitian conjugate of any object X, regardless of its dimension We use interchangeably the terms which are preferred, respectively, for scalars, vectors (bras and kets) and operators namely "conjugate", "dual" and "adjoint".
		The trace of an operator is the sum of the elements in its main diagonal (this doesn't depend on the base).

	Hamilton; help
		A linear operator A is hermitian iff = for all f,g in Domain(A).
		The upshot of all of this is that a hermitian operator will not in general guarantee the so called "closure" property with regard to its "eigenkets" and corresponding "bras"; i.e.
		A standard definition of a Hermitian operator/matrix H, is that H is Hermitian if and only if H is self adjoint...

		Theorem 2: If L is a self adjoint operator then eigenvectors belonging to different eigenvalues are orthogonal.

	What IS a Jordan Algebra? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Hermitian elliptic lines (QxO)S1 and (OxO)S1 admit interpretations as the manifold of 3-planes in the space S11, respectively as the manifold of 7-planes in the space S15.
		Also, you see that (as John Baez had noted) the Hermitian condition and the skew(anti)Hermitian condition lead to different dimensionalities on the diagonal of the 3x3 matrices, because only in the Complex case does the real dimension equal the imaginary dimension.
		For example, you can build the 28-dim adjoint of D4 by taking the wedge product of two of the 8s, as 8/\8 = 28, which is the same procedure that J. Adams used to construct representations of E8 in his paper The Fundamental Representations of E8, Contemporary Mathematics 37 (1985) 1-10, reprinted in vol.

	Hermitian and not Hermitian
		A linear operator A is self-adjoint iff: (i) A is symmetric, (ii) the adjoint A
		If we assume the matrix A to be self-adjoint, then A = A', but in order for B to be equal to B', we need that S^(-1) = S', which is only true for a unitary matrix S ; meaning that the new basis is orthonormal.
		While for the hermitian case, the resulting matrix is unaltered under transpose and conjugation.

	Properties
		A matrix that is identical to its own Hermitian conjugate is called Hermitian (or self-adjoint.
		A matrix whose Hermitian conjugate is identical to the original matrix's inverse is called unitary.
		In this case, symmetric is equivalent to Hermitian, and orthogonal is equivalent to unitary.

		Basic properties for the hyperbolic complex numbers are derived and applied to special relativistic physics and the Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions.
		Next, it is briefly shown that for Minkowski signature a string world-sheet possesses an integrable almost hyperbolic complex structure, with a metric that is generalized Hermitian.
		It is also shown that a four-component Dirac spinors equivalent to a two-component hyperbolic complex spinor, that the Lorentz group is equivalent to a generalized SU(2), and that the Dirac adjoint corresponds to a generalized Hermitian adjoint.

	Linear Algebra
		So the adjoint operator is the transpose complex conjugate.
		This notion naturally extends to vectors and numbers: the adjoint of a ket is the corresponding bra, the adjoint of a number is its complex conjugate.
		The adjoint of a product of matrices, vectors and numbers is the product of the adjoints in reverse order.

	A Variational Coupled Cluster Theory?
		The ostensible impracticality of a variational coupled cluster theory raises an important question as to the physical reality of the coupled cluster energy as computed using projective, asymmetric techniques.
		Quantum mechanics dictates that physical observables (such as the energy) are expectation values of Hermitian operators.
		The infinite series in this case is not truncated arbitrarily, but instead by identifying which terms are needed to complete the series through a particular order of perturbation theory.

	The Adjoint of an Operator
		The task of finding it is simplified enormously by virtue of the fact that a Hilbert space has an inner product.
		Because of its mathematical (as well as its physical) significance, let us remind ourselves about the adjoint of a linear operator.
		Thus, if the hermitian adjoint of an operator equals the operator itself, then the operator is said to be Hermitian.

		Note that commutation of cluster operators holds only when the occupied and virtual orbital spaces are disjoint, as is the case in spin-orbital or spin-restricted closed-shell theories.
		It should be noted that the localized orbital requirement is used here strictly for ease of analysis, and the property of multiplicative separability of the coupled cluster wavefunction does not strictly depend on this computational requirement, as discussed in Ref. 88.
		The inequality with the final term in this expression relies on the fact that the Hermitian adjoint of an excitation (cluster) operator,
