Abstract: We study the closure $$ of the set $CSO$ of all complex symmetric operators on a separable, infinite-dimensional, complex Hilbert space. Among other things, we prove that every compact operator in $$ is complex symmetric. Using a construction of Kakutani as motivation, we also describe many properties of weighted shifts in $$. In particular, we show that weighted shifts which demonstrate a type of approximate self-similarity belong to $$. As a byproduct of our treatment of weighted shifts, we explain several ways in which our result on compact operators is optimal.
