Abstract

For a given unitary operator UU on a separable complex Hilbert space \h\h, we describe the set Cc(U)\mathscr{C}_{c}(U) of all conjugations CC (antilinear, isometric, and involutive maps) on \h\h for which CUC=UC U C = U. As this set might be empty, we also show that Cc(U)\mathscr{C}_{c}(U) \not = \varnothing if and only if UU is unitarily equivalent to UU^{*}.
