If φ and ψ are positive real (1,1)-forms and ξ,η are linearly independent tangent vectors of type (1,0), then
(φ∧ψ)(ξ,η,ξˉ​,ηˉ​)>0.
(1)
After simultaneous diagonalization by congruence, with positive diagonal entries aj​,bj​, the left side is
∑j<k​(aj​bk​+ak​bj​)∣ξj​ηk​−ξk​ηj​∣2,
(2)
which is positive because some 2×2 minor is nonzero.
