On the structure of \(J\)-Potapov sequences (Q1014499)

The main aim of this paper is to investigate the inner structure of infinite \(J\)-Potapov sequences of complex \(m\times m\) matrices, where \(J\) is a \(m\times m\) matrix with \(J^*=J\) and \(J^2=I_m\), showing that such sequences have a certain geometric structure. They investigate connections between \(J\)-Potapov sequences and their \(J\)-Potapov-Ginsburg transforms, the latter being \(m\times m\) Schur sequences. An important consequence of these results is that a concept of centrality, introduced by the authors, is invariant with respect to the \(J\)-Potapov-Ginsburg transform.
