Partial Wirtinger derivatives `∂_I`, `∂̄_I` in a complex coordinate basis on `ℂ^n`

Notation

The conventions of `Wirtinger.Basic` carry over verbatim, with the directional subscript `v` replaced by a coordinate index `I` (standing for the direction `Pi.single I 1`).

* `∂_I f` and `∂̄_I f` are the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic coordinate Wirtinger derivatives of `f` in the I-th coordinate direction `Pi.single I 1` — the bar sits on the operator, never on the subscript. They are the directional `∂_v f` / `∂̄_v f` of `Wirtinger.Basic` at `v = Pi.single I 1`. For iterated derivatives the operators compose, `∂_I ∂̄_J f`. * `z^I` is the I-th coordinate `u ↦ u^I`; `z̄^I = star z^I` is its pointwise conjugate (the `f̄` convention of `Wirtinger.Basic`). * `∂_x`, `∂_y` are the slot-I real and imaginary Fréchet derivatives, along the directions `Pi.single I 1` and `Pi.single I i`. * `δ_IJ` is the Kronecker delta.

i. Overview

Coordinate specialization of `Wirtinger.Basic` to `V = ℂ^n` (spelled `ι → ℂ`, `n = |ι|`, `ι` a `Fintype`), fixing the direction to the I-th basis vector `Pi.single I 1`:

`∂_I f := ∂_v f` at `v = Pi.single I 1` (`dWirtingerCoord`) `∂̄_I f := ∂̄_v f` at `v = Pi.single I 1` (`dWirtingerAntiCoord`)

`∂_I`, `∂̄_I` are the partial Wirtinger derivatives w.r.t. coordinate `I`, the other coordinates fixed. Coordinate values:

`∂_I z^J = δ_IJ`, `∂̄_I z̄^J = δ_IJ`, `∂̄_I z^J = ∂_I z̄^J = 0`.

The basis makes the directional calculus computational. The operators `dWirtingerCoord` / `dWirtingerAntiCoord` (§A, with real-Fréchet unfolding `(1/2)(∂_x ∓ i ∂_y)`) come with:

- independence: `∂_I` annihilates every `z̄` and `∂̄_I` every `z` (the coordinate values above), so `z` and `z̄` behave as independent variables; - additivity, `ℂ`-linearity, the Leibniz product rule, and the finite-sum rule (§B–C), so any polynomial in the coordinates and their conjugates differentiates termwise; - conjugation, swapping the two operators (§B–C): `∂_I f̄ = conj (∂̄_I f)` and `∂̄_I f̄ = conj (∂_I f)`; - holomorphic collapse (§B–C): for holomorphic `f`, `∂̄_I f = 0` and `∂_I f` is the ordinary complex partial `fderiv ℂ f u (Pi.single I 1)` (anti-holomorphic `f` dually); - the per-coordinate chain rule for an outer `g : ℂ → ℂ` (§D), collapsing to a single term `∂_I (g ∘ f) = deriv g (f u) · ∂_I f` on holomorphic `g` (and `∂̄_I` likewise); - the coordinate difference `z^J − z̄^J` (§C); - Schwarz's theorem `∂_I ∂̄_J f = ∂̄_J ∂_I f` on `C²` `f` (§E, `dWirtingerCoord_dWirtingerAntiCoord_comm`).

Indexing by `I` casts the calculus in the language of several complex variables. The first derivatives assemble into a gradient, the family of partials `∂_I f` ranging over the coordinates `I`; the critical points of a holomorphic `h` are then where `∂_I h = 0` for every `I`. The mixed second derivatives assemble into a complex Hessian, the matrix with entries `∂_I ∂̄_J f` indexed by the pair `(I, J)`; for a real function `Φ` the entries `∂_I ∂̄_J Φ` record its second-order behaviour.

That Hessian is Hermitian, by Schwarz (§E). For a real `K`, write the Kähler metric `g_{IJ̄} = ∂_I ∂̄_J K`; conjugation gives `star (g_{JĪ}) = ∂̄_J ∂_I K`, which Schwarz equates with `∂_I ∂̄_J K`, so `g_{IJ̄} = star (g_{JĪ})`. That is Kähler-metric hermiticity.

The coordinate maps are Mathlib primitives — `z^I` is `ContinuousLinearMap.proj`, `z̄^I` its `star` — and the holomorphic collapse reads `fderiv ℝ f = fderiv ℂ f` off the `restrictScalars` bridge (§B).

Differentiability convention: hypothesis-bearing rules are pointwise (at `u`, `DifferentiableAt`), valid on a proper subdomain (e.g. a slit-domain log Kähler potential); `funext` locally for a function-level form. Hypothesis-free constant and coordinate facts are function equalities.

A. The coordinate Wirtinger operators

The two coordinate Wirtinger operators are the directional Wirtinger derivatives of `Wirtinger.Basic` along the I-th coordinate direction `Pi.single I 1`:

dWirtingerCoord f I = (1/2) · (∂_x − i · ∂_y) f dWirtingerAntiCoord f I = (1/2) · (∂_x + i · ∂_y) f

where `∂_x` and `∂_y` are the real Fréchet derivatives of `f` along the slot-I real and imaginary coordinate directions `Pi.single I 1` and `Pi.single I Complex.I` (the latter is `Complex.I • Pi.single I 1`). The sign on the imaginary-direction term is the only difference, making the two operators dual on (anti)holomorphic functions (§B, §C).

Each `∂_I` is thus a 1-D directional derivative taken along the standard basis vector `Pi.single I 1` — the whole calculus is the one-variable theory applied direction by direction. The coordinates decouple (`∂_I z^J = δ_IJ`, §B) because the coordinate functionals `z^J` are the dual basis to the standard basis: `z^J (Pi.single I 1) = δ_IJ`.

B. Properties of `dWirtingerCoord`

Each rule is the `d = Pi.single I 1` specialisation of its `Wirtinger` foundation analogue. Rules carrying a differentiability hypothesis are stated **pointwise** (at `u`, hypothesis `DifferentiableAt`) — the weakest form, and the one to reach for on a function differentiable only on a proper domain; a consumer wanting a function-level equation `funext`s locally. The hypothesis-free constant and coordinate facts are stated as function equalities — the constant and holomorphic-coordinate ones (`dWirtingerCoord_const`, `dWirtingerCoord_coordProj`) `@[simp]`.

The holomorphic collapse `∂_I f = fderiv ℂ f` for holomorphic `f` below (with the dual `∂̄_I f = 0` in §C) needs the *real* derivative `fderiv ℝ f u` to be `ℂ`-linear. For holomorphic `f`, `fderiv ℝ f u` is the `ℂ`-linear `fderiv ℂ f u` with scalars restricted to `ℝ`, `fderiv ℝ f u = (fderiv ℂ f u).restrictScalars ℝ` (`HasFDerivAt.restrictScalars`). Restricting scalars drops the `ℂ`-linear *bundling*, not the behaviour: the map still commutes with `i`, `fderiv ℝ f u (i • d) = i • fderiv ℝ f u d` — the `ℂ`-linearity the collapse consumes. `clinear_of_holomorphic` packages this, via `DifferentiableAt.fderiv_restrictScalars` and `ContinuousLinearMap.coe_restrictScalars'`; `DifferentiableAt.restrictScalars` supplies the `ℝ`-differentiability.

C. Properties of `dWirtingerAntiCoord`

This section is the `dWirtingerAntiCoord` mirror of §B: every rule with `z` and `z̄` swapped (locality, constants, negation, additivity, scalar compatibility, Leibniz, the finite-sum rule), together with the holomorphic collapse `∂̄_I f = 0`.

It also collects the two *conjugate-coordinate* values, one per operator: `∂_I z̄^J = 0` (`dWirtingerCoord_conjCoord`) and `∂̄_I z̄^J = δ_IJ` (`dWirtingerAntiCoord_conjCoord`). Since `z̄^J = star z^J`, each is the conjugate of the corresponding value on the holomorphic coordinate `z^J`, read off through the foundation conjugation lemmas `dWirtingerDir_star_comp` / `dWirtingerAntiDir_star_comp` rather than recomputed.

Coordinate-difference Wirtinger derivatives

The Wirtinger derivatives of the coordinate difference `z^J − z̄^J = 2 i Im(u^J)`, the combination any function of the coordinates' imaginary parts differentiates against. Collected here for reuse: `∂_I (z^J − z̄^J) = δ_IJ` and `∂̄_I (z^J − z̄^J) = −δ_IJ`.

D. Wirtinger chain rules for an outer function

Composing with an outer `g : ℂ → ℂ` gives a **two-term** coordinate chain rule, the `d = Pi.single I 1` case of the foundation `dWirtingerDir_comp`:

`∂_I (g ∘ f) = (∂g/∂f) · ∂_I f + (∂g/∂f̄) · ∂_I f̄`.

A non-holomorphic `g` depends on both its argument and its conjugate, so both channels contribute: the holomorphic coefficient `∂g/∂f` and the anti-holomorphic `∂g/∂f̄`, each times the matching inner coordinate derivative — two terms where the complex-analytic rule has one. The outer `g` enters only through these two coefficients, the directional derivatives `dWirtingerDir g 1` and `dWirtingerAntiDir g 1` evaluated at `z = f u` (the image of `u` under the inner function, where the chain rule reads off `g`). They are the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic parts of `g`'s real Fréchet derivative: every `ℝ`-linear map `ℂ → ℂ` splits uniquely as `h ↦ a · h + b · star h`, and on `L = fderiv ℝ g z` the weights are `(a, b) = (∂g/∂f, ∂g/∂f̄)`.

For holomorphic `g` the anti-holomorphic coefficient `dWirtingerAntiDir g 1` vanishes and `dWirtingerDir g 1` collapses to `deriv g z`, leaving the single-term rule `∂_I (g ∘ f) = deriv g (f u) · ∂_I f` (`dWirtingerCoord_comp_holomorphic_apply`, with its `∂̄_I` dual). Both collapses are the same `restrictScalars` step as §B — the real derivative of a holomorphic `g : ℂ → ℂ` is `ℂ`-linear (`clinear_of_holomorphic` at `E = ℂ`).

E. Schwarz's theorem for the coordinate operators

Specialisations of the multivariable theory along `Pi.single I 1`: a first coordinate Wirtinger derivative is again real-differentiable, and **Schwarz's theorem** for the mixed second derivative on a `C²` function,

`∂_I ∂̄_J f = ∂̄_J ∂_I f` (`dWirtingerCoord_dWirtingerAntiCoord_comm`)

This commutation is Kähler-metric hermiticity: with `K` real, `g_{IJ̄} = ∂_I ∂̄_J K` and `star (g_{JĪ}) = ∂̄_J ∂_I K`.

definition

Holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative If\partial_I f

For a function f:(ιC)Cf: (\iota \to \mathbb{C}) \to \mathbb{C} and a coordinate index IιI \in \iota, the **holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative** If\partial_I f is the function that maps each point uu to the holomorphic directional Wirtinger derivative of ff in the direction of the II-th standard basis vector eIe_I (where eIe_I is the vector with 11 at index II and 00 elsewhere). At a point uu, this is defined as: If(u)=eIf(u)=12(deIf(u)idieIf(u))\partial_I f(u) = \partial_{e_I} f(u) = \frac{1}{2} \left( d_{e_I} f(u) - i \cdot d_{i e_I} f(u) \right) where dvf(u)d_v f(u) denotes the real Fréchet derivative of ff at uu in the direction vv.

If\partial_I f Equals the Complex Partial Derivative for Holomorphic ff

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function and ι\iota be a finite index set.

Let uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota be a point and IιI \in \iota be a coordinate index. If the function g:CιCg: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} is complex-differentiable at the pointwise complex conjugate uˉ\bar{u}, then the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of the function vg(vˉ)v \mapsto g(\bar{v}) at uu is equal to the complex Fréchet derivative of gg at uˉ\bar{u} evaluated in the direction of the II-th standard basis vector eIe_I: ˉI(gconj)(u)=DCg(uˉ)(eI)\bar{\partial}_I (g \circ \text{conj})(u) = D_{\mathbb{C}} g(\bar{u})(e_I) where ˉI\bar{\partial}_I is the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative, conj\text{conj} denotes pointwise complex conjugation, and eIe_I is the basis vector with 11 at index II and 00 elsewhere.

theorem

ˉIf=0\bar{\partial}_I f = 0 for holomorphic functions

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function. If ff is complex-differentiable at a point uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota, then its anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative with respect to the II-th coordinate is zero at that point: ˉIf(u)=0\bar{\partial}_I f(u) = 0

theorem

For any coordinate indices I,JιI, J \in \iota, let zJz^J be the JJ-th coordinate projection function vvJv \mapsto v_J and zˉJ\bar{z}^J be its pointwise complex conjugate vvJv \mapsto \overline{v_J}. The holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative I\partial_I of their difference is given by the Kronecker delta δIJ\delta_{IJ}: I(zJzˉJ)=δIJ\partial_I (z^J - \bar{z}^J) = \delta_{IJ} where δIJ=1\delta_{IJ} = 1 if I=JI = J and 00 otherwise.

theorem

For any coordinate indices I,JιI, J \in \iota, the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative ˉI\bar{\partial}_I of the function mapping a vector zCιz \in \mathbb{C}^\iota to the difference between its JJ-th coordinate zJz^J and its conjugate zˉJ\bar{z}^J is equal to the negative of the Kronecker delta: ˉI(zJzˉJ)=δIJ\bar{\partial}_I (z^J - \bar{z}^J) = -\delta_{IJ} where δIJ=1\delta_{IJ} = 1 if I=JI = J and 00 otherwise.

theorem

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} and g:CCg: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} be functions. If ff is real-differentiable at a point uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota and gg is real-differentiable at the point f(u)Cf(u) \in \mathbb{C}, then for any coordinate index IιI \in \iota, the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of the composition gfg \circ f at uu satisfies: I(gf)(u)=gz(f(u))If(u)+gzˉ(f(u))Ifˉ(u)\partial_I (g \circ f)(u) = \frac{\partial g}{\partial z}(f(u)) \cdot \partial_I f(u) + \frac{\partial g}{\partial \bar{z}}(f(u)) \cdot \partial_I \bar{f}(u) where I\partial_I denotes the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative with respect to the II-th coordinate, gz\frac{\partial g}{\partial z} and gzˉ\frac{\partial g}{\partial \bar{z}} are the one-variable holomorphic and anti-holomorphic Wirtinger derivatives of gg respectively, and fˉ\bar{f} denotes the pointwise complex conjugate of ff.

theorem

Chain rule I(gf)=g(f)If\partial_I (g \circ f) = g'(f) \cdot \partial_I f for holomorphic gg

Let uCnu \in \mathbb{C}^n (represented as ιC\iota \to \mathbb{C}) be a point and IιI \in \iota be a coordinate index. If g:CCg: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} is complex-differentiable at f(u)f(u) and f:CnCf: \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C} is real-differentiable at uu, then the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of the composition gfg \circ f at uu satisfies: I(gf)(u)=g(f(u))If(u)\partial_I (g \circ f)(u) = g'(f(u)) \cdot \partial_I f(u) where I\partial_I denotes the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative and gg' denotes the complex derivative of gg.

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function that is real-differentiable at a point uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota. For any coordinate index IιI \in \iota, the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative I\partial_I of the complex conjugate function fˉ\bar{f} (defined by fˉ(v)=f(v)\bar{f}(v) = \overline{f(v)}) evaluated at uu is equal to the complex conjugate of the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative ˉIf\bar{\partial}_I f evaluated at uu: Ifˉ(u)=ˉIf(u)\partial_I \bar{f}(u) = \overline{\bar{\partial}_I f(u)}

theorem

Chain Rule for the Anti-holomorphic Partial Wirtinger Derivative ˉI\bar{\partial}_I

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} and g:CCg: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} be functions. If ff is real-differentiable at a point uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota and gg is real-differentiable at f(u)f(u), then for any coordinate index IιI \in \iota, the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of the composition gfg \circ f at uu satisfies the chain rule: ˉI(gf)(u)=g(f(u))ˉIf(u)+ˉg(f(u))ˉIfˉ(u)\bar{\partial}_I (g \circ f)(u) = \partial g(f(u)) \bar{\partial}_I f(u) + \bar{\partial} g(f(u)) \bar{\partial}_I \bar{f}(u) where ˉI\bar{\partial}_I is the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative with respect to the II-th coordinate, g\partial g and ˉg\bar{\partial} g are the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic directional Wirtinger derivatives of gg along the direction 1C1 \in \mathbb{C}, and fˉ\bar{f} denotes the pointwise complex conjugate of ff.

theorem

Chain Rule for ˉI\bar{\partial}_I with Holomorphic Outer Function

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function that is real-differentiable at uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota, and let g:CCg: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} be a holomorphic function (complex-differentiable) at f(u)f(u). For any coordinate index IιI \in \iota, the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative ˉI\bar{\partial}_I of the composition gfg \circ f at uu satisfies the single-term chain rule: ˉI(gf)(u)=g(f(u))ˉIf(u)\bar{\partial}_I (g \circ f)(u) = g'(f(u)) \cdot \bar{\partial}_I f(u) where gg' denotes the standard complex derivative of gg. This formula arises because the anti-holomorphic component of the derivative of the holomorphic function gg (often denoted gzˉ\frac{\partial g}{\partial \bar{z}}) vanishes, leaving only the holomorphic contribution.

theorem

ˉIfˉ=If\bar{\partial}_I \bar{f} = \overline{\partial_I f}

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function and IιI \in \iota be a coordinate index. If ff is real-differentiable at uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota, then the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of the complex conjugate function fˉ\bar{f} at uu is the complex conjugate of the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative of ff at uu: ˉIfˉ(u)=If(u)\bar{\partial}_I \bar{f}(u) = \overline{\partial_I f(u)} where I\partial_I and ˉI\bar{\partial}_I denote the holomorphic and anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivatives with respect to the II-th coordinate, and the overline denotes complex conjugation.

theorem

Let ι\iota be an index set and f:CιCf : \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function. If ff is twice continuously differentiable (C2C^2) at a point uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota with respect to the real numbers, then for any coordinate index JιJ \in \iota, the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative ˉJf\bar{\partial}_J f is real-differentiable at uu.

theorem

Let f:CιCf: \mathbb{C}^\iota \to \mathbb{C} be a function and uCιu \in \mathbb{C}^\iota be a point. If ff is twice continuously differentiable (C2C^2) at uu over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}, then for any coordinate indices I,JιI, J \in \iota, the holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative I\partial_I and the anti-holomorphic partial Wirtinger derivative ˉJ\bar{\partial}_J commute at uu: I(ˉJf)(u)=ˉJ(If)(u)\partial_I (\bar{\partial}_J f)(u) = \bar{\partial}_J (\partial_I f)(u) Here, If\partial_I f and ˉJf\bar{\partial}_J f represent the partial Wirtinger derivatives along the II-th and JJ-th standard basis vectors of Cι\mathbb{C}^\iota, respectively.
