Is "complex" Hilbert space necessary?

The article describes the invariant subspace problem as pertaining to complex Hilbert spaces. But isn't the existence of a non-trivial closed invariant subspace equally unknown for a bounded linear operator on a real Hilbert space? (In fact, I wonder if the two problems might be equivalent.)Daqu (talk) 07:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
