This will give you what you want:
SuperStar[f_?NumberQ]:=Conjugate[f]
SuperStar[f:_[___]]:=SuperStar/@f

Subject: [mg132606] complex conjugation by star
I have defined the following useful star complex-conjugation (common star
exponent notation)
f_*:=f/.Complex[u_,v_]->Complex[u,-v]
and it works fine. For example BesselJ[2,x+I y]* gives BesselJ[2,x-I y]
etc...(x,y defined/undefined).
Also it is listable on number lists
{1+i2, 5+i6}* gives {1-i2, 5-i6} .
Unfortunately it does not work on symbols, i.e.
A* gives A even if I have defined A as a complex number by means of
Element[A, Complexes].
Similarly if I define Element[{A,B,G}, Complexes]
{A,B,G}* gives {A,B,G} and (A+B+G)* gives A+B+G.
I'd like to obtain {A*,B*,G*} and A*+B*+G* ( ! )
Is it possible to fix this deficiency, unpleasant in manipulating general
expressions where is not known
if symbols represent real or complex variables ?
Many thanks!
