7.1 We show that hhα, αii ≥ 0 if ?α(X) := α(JX).

hhα, αii = (1)

≥0 (2)

Now suppose ?α(X) := −α(JX), then hhα, αii ≥ 0 when

hhα, αii = (3)

≥0 (4)

7.2 We show that ||?α|| = ||α||.

? ? α ∧ ?α(X, JX) = (5)

7.3 We show that ūv = u · v + (u × v)i. Let u = a + bi and v = c + di.

ūv = u · v + (u × v)i (7)

7.4 We show that hu, vi = hv, ui.

hu, vi = hv, ui (8)

We show that hu, ui ≥ 0.

hu, ui ≥ 0 (9)

 7.5 We show that hhα, βii is Hermitian and positive definite when α, β are
complex 1-forms.

hhα, βii = hhβ, αii (10)

(11)

Next, we show positive definiteness.

hhα, αii ≥ 0 (12)

7.7 We argue that A(z) = − 2i

7.10 We show that ∇z = 0 when z is holomorphic.

∇z = 0 (18)

7.11 φ is not harmonic
