Schur complements in Krein spaces (Q2474140): Difference between revisions

Let \(H\) be a Krein space with the fundamental symmetry \(J\) and let \(A\in L(H)\) be a \(J\)-selfadjoint operator with the unique factorization property. Suppose \(A= DD^\#\), where \(D\in L(K,H)\) for some Krein space \(K\) with \(N(D)= \{0\}\). Given a closed subspace \(S\) of \(H\), the Schur complement of \(A\) to \(S\) and the \(S\)-compression of \(A\) are denoted by \(A_{/[S]}\) and \(A_{[S]}\), respectively, and defined in terms of the Krein subspace \(M= \overline{D^\#(S)}\), the operator \(D\) and the projection operator \(P_M\). Among other results on the properties of the Schur complements the authors prove that \(A_{[S]}\) and \(A_{/[S]}\) are \(J\)-selfadjoint operators satisfying \(A_{[S]}+A_{/[S]}= A\).
