Abstract: Let $H:D(H)subseteqmathscrFomathscrF$ be self-adjoint and let $A:D(H)omathscrF$ (playing the role of the annihilator operator) be $H$-bounded. Assuming some additional hypotheses on $A$ (so that the creation operator $A^{\ast }$ is a singular perturbation of $H$), by a twofold application of a resolvent Krein-type formula, we build self-adjoint realizations $hatH$ of the formal Hamiltonian $H+A^{\ast }+A$ with $D(H)capD(hatH)=0$. We give an explicit characterization of $D(hatH)$ and provide a formula for the resolvent difference $(-hatH+z{)}^{-1}-(-H+z{)}^{-1}$. Moreover, we consider the problem of the description of $hatH$ as a (norm resolvent) limit of sequences of the kind $H+A_n^{\ast }+A_n+E_n$, where the $A_n!$'s are regularized operators approximating $A$ and the $E_n$'s are suitable renormalizing bounded operators. These results show the connection between the construction of singular perturbations of self-adjoint operators by Krein's resolvent formula and nonperturbative theory of renormalizable models in Quantum Field Theory; in particular, as an explicit example, we consider the Nelson model.
