Conjecture on rank-two partial isometries being unitarily equivalent to complex symmetric matrices
Let be a partial isometry on a -dimensional complex Hilbert space, and suppose that . A matrix is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix if there is a unitary matrix such that is equal to its transpose. Rank-two partial-isometry conjecture. Every rank-two partial isometry is unitarily equivalent to a complex symmetric matrix. The cases of rank , , , and are known, while the rank-two case was unresolved in the source and supported there only by computational testing of random examples.
