Complex symmetric partial isometries

Abstract

An operator $T \in B(\h)$ is complex symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution $C:\h\to\h$ so that $T=C{T}^{\ast }C$. We provide a concrete description of all complex symmetric partial isometries. In particular, we prove that any partial isometry on a Hilbert space of dimension $\le 4$ is complex symmetric.
