Problem

Let VV be C2C^2, with the standard inner product. Let TT be the linear operator on VV which is represented in the standard ordered basis by the matrix A=[1ii1].A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & i \\ i & 1 \end{bmatrix}. Show that TT is normal, and find an orthonormal basis for VV, consisting of characteristic vectors for TT.
