Abstract

If C is a conjugation (an isometric, conjugate-linear involution) on a separable complex Hilbert space H , then T ∈ B ( H ) is called C-symmetric if T = C T ∗ C . In this note we prove that each C-symmetric contraction T is the mean of two C-symmetric unitary operators. We discuss several corollaries and an application to the Friedrichs operator of a planar domain.
