Definition
A semi-inner product space is a vector space together with an associated semi-inner product.
Complex Semi-Inner Product Space
Let $V$ be a vector space over a complex subfield $\GF$.
Let $\innerprod \cdot \cdot : V \times V \to \GF$ be an complex semi-inner product on $V$.
We say that $\struct {V, \innerprod \cdot \cdot}$ is a (complex) semi-inner product space.
Real Semi-Inner Product Space
Let $V$ be a vector space over a real subfield $\GF$.
Let $\innerprod \cdot \cdot : V \times V \to \GF$ be an real semi-inner product on $V$.
We say that $\struct {V, \innerprod \cdot \cdot}$ is a (real) semi-inner product space.
