Relation between inner product and its real part.

Question

Let $\{, \} : V \times V \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ denote a Hermitian inner product on a vector space $V$ over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$.

Let $\langle,\rangle: V\times V\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ denote the real part of $\{,\}$.

I want to show that $\{v,w\}=\langle v,w\rangle- i\langle iv,w\rangle$

Any hints.

Answer 1

$$\Im \{v,w\} = \Re (-i \{v,w\}) = \langle -iv, w \rangle.$$
