A new criterion for an operator to belong to the class \(K(H)\) (Q1277448)

Let \(H\) be a Krein space with indefinite metric \([x,y]= (Jx,y)\), where \(J\) is the canonical symmetry of the space \(K\) and \(K(H)\) be the class of the operators \(\Phi\) acting on \(H\), as is defined in the book of \textit{T. Ya. Azizov} and \textit{I. S. Iokhvidov} see [``Foundations of the theory of linear operators in spaces with indefinite metric'' (Russian) (1986; Zbl 0607.47031)]. In the paper the following is proved: Theorem. Let \(\Phi\) be a \(J\)-selfadjoint operator in the Krein space \(H\), where the Riesz basis \(\{f_n\}\) exists composed of root vectors of the operator \(\Phi\). In addition, \(\dim(E(\Phi)/E_0(\Phi))< \infty\) and the non-real spectrum of the operator \(\Phi\) consists of no more than a finite number of eigenvalues with regard for the multiplicities. Then \(\Phi\) is an operator of class \(K(H)\).
