To sum up, in a real vector space with a complex structure , one real inner product determine a symplectic form and viceversa.
Moreover, an inner product defined in seen as a complex vector space (keep an eye: an Hermitian inner product) determine in an inner product (in the real sense) and a symplectic form in such a way that
If B is a bilinear form on then we say that preserves B if
for all .
An equivalent characterization is that is skew-adjoint with respect to B:
If is an inner product on then preserves if and only if is an orthogonal transformation. Likewise, preserves a nondegenerate, skew-symmetric form if and only if J is a symplectic transformation (that is, if ). For symplectic forms there is usually an added restriction for compatibility between and , namely
for all non-zero . If this condition is satisfied then is said to tame
Given a symplectic form and a linear complex structure , one may define an associated symmetric bilinear form on
