For example, if we reconsider the previous example, \( {A}^{\top }{u}^{\top } = 0 \) becomes\n\n\[ \left( \begin{matrix} 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & - 1 & - 1 \end{matrix}\right) \left( \begin{array}{l} {u}_{1} \\ {u}_{2} \\ {u}_{3} \\ {u}_{4} \end{array}\right) = \left( \begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 0 \end{array}\right) \]
Since the rref of \( {A}^{\top } \) is\n\n\[ \left( \begin{array}{llll} 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right) \]\nthe above system is equivalent to\n\n\[ \left( \begin{array}{llll} 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array}\right) \left( \begin{array}{l} {u}_{1} \\ {u}_{2} \\ {u}_{3} \\ {u}_{4} \end{array}\...

Since \( {u}^{ * } \) is not the linear form which is identically zero, there is a smallest positive index \( j \leq n \) such that \( {c}_{j} \neq 0 \), so our linear form is really \( {u}^{ * }\left( {{x}_{1},\ldots ,{x}_{n}}\right) = {c}_{j}{x}_{j} + \cdots + {c}_{n}{x}_{n} \) .

Conversely, given a hyperplane \( H \) in \( {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \) given as the span of \( n - 1 \) linearly vectors \( \left( {{u}_{1},\ldots ,{u}_{n - 1}}\right) \), it is possible using determinants to find a linear form \( \left( {{\lambda }_{1},\ldots ,{\lambda }_{n}}\right) \) that vanishes on \( H \).

Proof. That \( \mathfrak{b} : E \rightarrow {E}^{ * } \) is a semilinear map follows immediately from the fact that \( \mathfrak{b} = {\mathfrak{b}}^{r} \) , and that the Hermitian product is semilinear in its second argument.
