Summary: An operator $T$ on a complex Hilbert space
$\mathcal{H}$ is said to be complex
symmetric if there exists a conjugate-linear, isometric involution
$C:\mathcal{H}\rightarrow\mathcal{H}$ so that $CTC=T^*$. In this paper, we
obtain a canonical decomposition of complex symmetric operators. This result
decomposes general complex symmetric operators into direct sums of three
kinds of elementary ones.
