General forms of operator algebras on Pontrjagin space with neutral invariant subspaces (Q2370791): Difference between revisions

The study of the operator algebras on Pontrjagin spaces was initiated by \textit{M.\,A.\thinspace Naimark} [Sov.\ Math., Dokl.\ 5, 708--711 (1964), translation from Dokl.\ Akad.\ Nauk SSSR 156, 734--737 (1964), correction\ ibid.\ 165, 254 (1965; Zbl 0123.31101)], in which he investigated the problem of determining the structure of commutative algebras of operators on a Hilbert space which are closed under the adjoint operation corresponding to an indefinite metric. In the paper under review, the authors classify the general symmetric operator algebras on Pontrjagin space into six classes by using of four important symmetric ideals, and give the general forms for all algebras. They also consider the closeness of algebras and some special cases and examples.
