Linearization, trace, and determinant of certain meromorphic operator functions (Q1198110)

The author considers operator valued functions of the form \[ L(\lambda)= I- \sum^ \infty_{k=0} \lambda^{k+1} A_ k+ \sum^ \infty_{k=0} \lambda^{\varepsilon_ k}(\lambda-a_ k)^{-\mu_ k} H_ k, \] where \(A_ k\) and \(H_ k\) act on a Hilbert space. In the first part of the paper a linearization of \(L\) is constructed under some natural conditions. It is shown that the geometric multiplicities and the null multiplicities of the eigenvalues of \(L\) and the linearization coincide. Further under some additional conditions trace and determinant formulas for \(L\) are derived.
