Invariant subspaces of operators which act in a space with indefinite metric (Q1059263)

The theorem of \textit{M. G. Kreĭn} [Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 154, 1023- 1026 (1964; Zbl 0123.313)] on the existence of invariant maximal positive subspaces for doubly J-expansive operators with compact ''corner'' in a Kreĭn space is improved by showing that the spectral points \(\lambda\) of the restriction may be required to satisfy \(| \lambda | \geq 1\). The authors mention that in Pontrjagin space, or for J- unitary operators, the result was previously known.
