Expressing $*(z_1wedge bar z_2)$ without Hodge star operator












2












$begingroup$


I have been stuck on a computation for hours, and still cannot figure out where is the mistake:



For $2$-dimensional complex vector space, let $z_1,z_2$ be the basis. I want to compute $*(z_1wedge bar z_2)$. I am pretty sure the answer is $-z_2wedgebar z_1$. But if I write $z_1=x_1+iy_1$ and $z_2=x_2+iy_2$ then $x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2$ is the standard basis. Then by the formula here,
we have
begin{equation}
*z_1wedge bar z_2\
=*(x_1+iy_1)wedge(x_2-iy_2)\
=*(x_1wedge x_2-ix_1wedge y_2+i y_1wedge x_2+y_1wedge y_2)\
=-y_1wedge y_2-iy_1wedge x_2+ix_1wedge y_2-x_1wedge x_2\
=-(x_1+iy_1)wedge (x_2-iy_2)\
=-z_1wedge bar z_2
end{equation}



which I also think is correct. So where is my mistake?

$begingroup$

For the formula $(alpha,alpha)=int alphawedge * alpha$ to be valid for complex $alpha$ we need a complex conjugation in the definition of $*alpha$. Doing that we get
$$*(dz_1 wedge dbar z_2) = - dbar z_1 wedge dz_2 = dz_2 wedge dbar z_1.$$

Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich ...
