Principal axis transformation/Hermitian/Orthonormal system/Fact

From Wikiversity
Principal axis theorem

Let V be a finite-dimensional 𝕂-vector space, endowed with an inner product. Let Ψ denote an Hermitian form on V.

Then there exists an

orthonormal basis of V (with respect to the inner product), which is an orthogonal basis

with respect to Ψ.
