One-parameter semigroups of fractional-linear transformations (Q2717367)

The authors consider fractional-linear transformations of the form \((T_{21}+T_{22}K)(T_{11}+T_{12}K)^{-1}\), where \(T_{ij}\in{\mathcal L}({\mathcal H}_j, {\mathcal H}_i)\), \(i,j=1,2\), \(K\in{\mathcal L}({\mathcal H}_1, {\mathcal H}_2)\), \(\|K\|<1\), and \({\mathcal H}_1,{\mathcal H}_2\) are Hilbert spaces. Using an approach of E. Vesentini, who established a connection between semigroups of fractional-linear transformations and semigroups of linear contractions with respect to an indefinite metric, in the present paper the authors investigate the generators of strongly continuous semigroups of fractional-linear transformations and their basic properties.
