The following contents is in de Silva's Lectures on Symplectic geometry.
I can't understand the sentence of "Since $A$ commutes with $\sqrt{AA^*}$ "
Why these commute with each other?
Thank you in advance.

It is because $A$ is skew-symmetric, $A^*=-A$. So $B$ also diagonalizes $A$ (but with imaginary eigenvalues).
