For real Klein-Gordon field solutions with suitable support or boundary conditions, Ω(ϕ1​,ϕ2​)=∫Σ​(ϕ1​na∇a​ϕ2​−ϕ2​na∇a​ϕ1​)dΣ is a conserved symplectic form. The field equation makes its current divergence-free. Its complexification gives (u,v)KG​=iΩ(u∗,v), the Klein-Gordon inner product. A compatible complex structure on the Klein-Gordon solution space is additional data needed for a particle representation.
