Singular operator as a parameter of self-adjoint extensions

From MaRDI portal





Let \(A\) be a selfadjoint operator bounded from below in a Hilbert space \({\mathcal H}\), and let \(\dot A\) be a densely defined restriction of \(A\). Let also \({\mathcal H}_k(A)\), \(k= 0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\dots\), be the scale of Hilbert spaces associated with \(A\) (one supposes the existence and the boundedness of the operator \(A^{-1}\) and that \(A\geq 1\)). Denoting by \(A_\infty\) the Friedrichs extension of \(\dot A\), the author shows that if \(A_\infty\neq A\), and some other natural conditions are fulfilled as well, each selfadjoint extension \(\widetilde A\) of \(\dot A\) has a representation of the form \(\widetilde A= A\widetilde+ V\), where \(A\widetilde+ V\) is the operator \(A+V\) acting from \({\mathcal H}_1(A)\) into \({\mathcal H}_{-1}(A)\) and \(V:{\mathcal H}_1(A)\to{\mathcal H}_{-1}(A)\) is a singular operator with respect to \({\mathcal H}\) (i.e., a closed symmetric operator whose kernel is densely embedded in \({\mathcal H}\)). The particular case when the deficiency indices of \(\dot A\) are \((1,1)\), the result has been proved by Krein and Yavrian. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0934.00033].
