It is well known that if A is an n × n complex matrix and AT is its transpose, then there is an invertible n x n complex matrix S such that AT = S-1AS. In this note we wish to point out another simple relation between A and AT.

If A is an n × n complex matrix and AT is its transpose then there are unitary n × n complex matrices U and V such that AT = UAV.
