An operator T on a complex Hilbert space H is called skew symmetric if T can be represented as a skew symmetric matrix relative to some orthonormal basis for H. In this paper, we study skew symmetric operators with eigenvalues. First, we provide an upper-triangular operator matrix representation for skew symmetric operators with nonzero eigenvalues. On the other hand, we give a description of certain skew symmetric triangular operators, which is based on the geometric relationship between eigenvectors.

An operator T on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ is called skew symmetric if T can be represented as a skew symmetric matrix relative to some orthonormal basis for $\mathcal{H}$. In this note, we explore the structure of skew symmetric operators with disconnected spectra. Using the classical Riesz decomposition theorem, we give a decomposition of certain skew symmetric operators with disconnected spectra. Several corollaries and illustrating examples are provided.

An operator $T{{\in}}{\mathcal{L}}({\mathcal{H}})$ is said to be skew complex symmetric if there exists a conjugation C on ${\mathcal{H}}$ such that $T=-CT^*C$. In this paper, we study properties of skew complex symmetric operators including spectral connections, Fredholmness, and subspace-hypercyclicity between skew complex symmetric operators and their adjoints. Moreover, we consider Weyl type theorems and Browder type theorems for skew complex symmetric operators.

Let n be a 2-step nilpotent Lie algebra which has an inner product <, > and has an orthogonal decomposition $n\;=z\;{\oplus}v$ for its center z and the orthogonal complement v of z. Then Each element z of z defines a skew symmetric linear map $J_z\;:\;v\;{\longrightarrow}\;v$ given by <$J_zx$, y> = for all x, $y\;{\in}\;v$. In this paper we characterize Jacobi fields and calculate all conjugate points of a simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group N with its Lie algebra n satisfying $J^2_z$ = A for all $z\;{\in}\;z$, where S is a positive definite symmetric operator on z and A is a negative definite symmetric operator on v.
