Abstract
If T is a complex symmetric operator on a separable complex Hilbert space H, then the spectrum σ ( |T| ) of √(T*T) can be characterized in terms of a certain approximate antilinear eigenvalue problem. This approach leads to a general inequality (applicable to any bounded operator T : H → H ), in terms of the spectra of the self-adjoint operators Re T and Im T, restricting the possible location of elements of σ ( |T| ) . A sharp inequality for the operator norm is produced, and the extremal operators are shown to be complex symmetric.
