Anal. 4, No. 2, 11-36, electronic only (2010). py: 2010 dt: J cc: *47B99 15B99 ut: $J$-symmetric operator; $J$-skew-symmetric operator; polar decomposition; matrix of an operator ab: The author considers the classes of $J$-symmetric operators and $J$-selfadjoint operators on a Hilbert space with respect to an antilinear involution $J$, as well as various related classes. These classes should not be confused with the similar classes of operators on a Krein or Pontryagin space. Some specific features of matrix representations of $J$-symmetric and $J$-skew-symmetric operators are studied. The main result of the paper provides conditions under which a bounded linear operator can be represented as a product of a $J$-unitary operator and a $J$-selfadjount one. A good bibliography concerning operators on spaces with an antilinear involution is given. rv: Anatoly N. Kochubei (Ky\"\i v)
