= Complex Hodge star operator

The Hodge star extends complex-linearly to complex differential forms. With the Hermitian pointwise inner product, it is characterized by
$$
\alpha\wedge *\bar\beta=\langle\alpha,\beta\rangle\,\operatorname{vol}_g.
$$
On a <Hermitian manifold> it maps forms of type $(p,q)$ to forms of type $(n-q,n-p)$.
