Resolvents of self-adjoint extensions with mixed boundary conditions (Q2467648)

Let \(H\) be a symmetric operator with equal deficiency numbers, \((\mathcal H,\Gamma_1,\Gamma_2)\) be its space of boundary values (boundary triplet). An abstract version of the Krein resolvent formula gives an expression for the resolvent of any selfadjoint extension \(\widetilde H\) of \(H\) in terms of a selfadjoint linear relation in \(\mathcal H\) corresponding to \(\widetilde H\). The author considers the description of \(\widetilde H\) by the boundary conditions of the form \(A\Gamma_1u=B\Gamma_2u\), where \(A,B\) are bounded linear operators, \(AB^*=BA^*\) (earlier, mostly some special ``canonical'' forms of such abstract boundary conditions were used). For such a description, an explicit form of the resolvent formula is obtained, enabling a spectral analysis of selfadjoint extensions. As examples, the author considers point interactions in one dimension, Schrödinger operators on spaces consisting of pieces with different dimensions, and the Laplacian on a half-plane.
