text: If a Hermitian matrix has a simple spectrum (of eigenvalues) then its eigenvectors are orthogonal.

text: 1988, I. M. Gelfand, M. I. Graev, Geometry of homogeneous spaces, representations of groups in homogeneous spaces and related questions of integral geometry, Israel M. Gelfand, Collected Papers, Volume II, Springer-Verlag, page 366,
There are three types of such spaces: the space of positive definite (or negative definite) Hermitian matrices, the space of nondefinite Hermitian matrices, and finally the space of degenerate Hermitian matrices p, satisfying the condition p ≥ 0 (or p ≤ 0).
text: where H is a hermitian matrix. Now any linear combination of hermitian matrices with real coefficients is again a hermitian matrix.
ref: 1997, A. W. Joshi, Elements of Group Theory for Physicists, New Age International, 4th Edition, page 129, For this we note that if H is a hermitian matrix, exp(iH) is a unitary matrix. The converse is also true, i.e., if U is any unitary matrix, then it can be expressed in the form U = exp(iH), (4.94)
text: Exploiting the properties of hermitian matrixes [2], it is possible to obtain an analytical expression for the characteristic function of a hermitian quadratic form of gaussian variables, which is useful in the evaluation of transmission system performance.
