Vector semi-inner products

Kyle Rose, Christopher Schwanke and Zachary Ward

Vol. 15 (2022), No. 2, 289–297
Abstract

We formalize the notion of vector semi-inner products and introduce a class of vector seminorms which are built from these maps. The classical Pythagorean theorem and parallelogram law are then generalized to vector seminorms whose codomain is a geometric mean closed vector lattice. In the special case that this codomain is a square root closed, semiprime f-algebra, we provide a sharpening of the triangle inequality as well as a condition for equality.

Keywords
vector lattice, semi-inner product, Pythagorean theorem, parallelogram law
