Extensions of symmetric operators. I: The inner characteristic function case

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Given a symmetric linear transformation on a Hilbert space, a natural problem to consider is the characterization of its set of symmetric extensions. This problem is equivalent to the study of the partial isometric extensions of a fixed partial isometry. We provide a new function theoretic characterization of the set of all self-adjoint extensions of any symmetric linear transformation B with equal indices and inner Livsic characteristic function ThetaB by constructing a natural bijection between the set of self-adjoint extensions and the set of all contractive analytic functions Phi which are greater or equal to ThetaB. In addition we characterize the set of all symmetric extensions B of B which have equal indices in the case where ThetaB is inner.
