Thanks very much, martinbn. As fresh_42 pointed out, I was (erroneously) thinking of the real plane along with extra structure...

What do you mean by a matrix in the real plane? The real plane is not the set of such matrices. More importantly why do you expect this...

Interesting! Thank you very much, fresh_42. I will look further into that.

##\mathbb{C}\not\cong\mathbb{R}^2## The complex numbers are a field; the complex plane is not a field. If you want to identify them...

Obviously, there is something elementary I am missing here. To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so...

Thanks, fresh_42!

I don't think that this can be said in such a rigorous way. Yes, physicists use the bra-ket notation, and mathematicians usually use the...

Thanks, fresh_42. I know that it's pure convention, but I am trying to understand the relations between the conventions. What is clear...

All expressions are additive in both arguments. Whether you consider the left one or the right one as a covector is a deliberate...

anuttarasammyak, thank you for pointing out that I should have made precise that I was referring to complex vector spaces. I have...

First, I need to check that I have the 3 notations correct for an inner product in finite vector spaces over a complex field; v*...

We won't know that for sure until we have a confirmed theory of quantum gravity. :wink:

Retaking this point. So basically the only idea here is that gravitational-based collapse is maybe not like the quantum mechanics we...

Oh right! It was the "quantum gravity" terminology that threw me off. Proving or disproving gravitational-based collapse does not mean...

I don't think the research program referred to is to use quantum gravity to explain the brain specifically. I think it is to use quantum...
