Axiom ax-his1

Description: Conjugate law for inner product. Postulate (S1) of Beran p. 95. Note that *x is the complex conjugate cjval of x . In the literature, the inner product of A and B is usually written <. A , B >. , but our operation notation co allows us to use existing theorems about operations and also avoids a clash with the definition of an ordered pair df-op . Physicists use <. B | A >. , called Dirac bra-ket notation, to represent this operation; see comments in df-bra . (Contributed by NM, 29-Jul-1999) (New usage is discouraged.)
