Hi,
Suppose that we have a complex matrix [tex]\mathbf{H}[/tex] that is Hermitian. The real part of the matrix will be symmetric, and the imaginary part of the matrix will be anti-symmetric. But what about the diagonal elements in the imaginary part? I mean we deduce that the elements in the diagonal of the imaginary part of the matrix equal the negative of themselves! What does this mean? or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance
