We consider an abstract sequence $\{A_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of closed symmetric operators on a separable Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. It is assumed that all $A_n$'s have equal deficiency indices $(k,k)$ and thus self-adjoint extensions…

In this work, firstly in the direct sum of Hilbert spaces of vector-functions L^2 (H,(-{\infty},a_1)){\Box}L^2 (H,(a_2,b_2)){\Box}L^2 (H,(a_3,+{\infty})),- {\infty}<a_1<a_2<b_2<a_3<+{\infty} all selfadjoint extensions of the minimal…

We produce a simple criterion and a constructive recipe to identify those self-adjoint extensions of a lower semi-bounded symmetric operator on Hilbert space which have the same lower bound as the Friedrichs extension. Applications of this…

For entire operators and entire operators in the generalized sense, we provide characterizations based on the spectra of their selfadjoint extensions. In order to obtain these spectral characterizations, we discuss the representation of a…

Given a densely defined and closed operator $A$ acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between its closed extensions and subspaces $\mathfrak{M}\subset\mathcal{D}(A^*)$, that are closed…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for real sequences to be the spectra of selfadjoint extensions of an entire operator whose domain may be non-dense. For this spectral characterization we use de Branges space techniques and a…

In this paper we define the deficiency indices of a closed symmetric right $\mathbb{H}$-linear operator and formulate a general theory of deficiency indices in a right quaternionic Hilbert space. This study provides a necessary and…

Selfadjoint and maximal dissipative extensions of a non-densely defined symmetric operator $S$ in an infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert space are considered and their compressions on the subspace ${\rm \overline{dom}\,} S$ are studied.…

We provide a simple recipe for obtaining all self-adjoint extensions, together with their resolvent, of the symmetric operator $S$ obtained by restricting the self-adjoint operator $A:\D(A)\subseteq\H\to\H$ to the dense, closed with respect…

We introduce a classification of simple, regular, closed symmetric operators with deficiency indices (1,1) according to a geometric criterion that extends the classical notions of entire operators and entire operators in the generalized…

In this paper it is proved that each densely defined $J$-skew-symmetric operator (or each $J$-isometric operator with $\overline{D(A)}=\overline{R(A)}=H$) in a Hilbert space $H$ has a $J$-skew-self-adjoint (respectively $J$-unitary)…

Let $T$ be a densely defined closed symmetric operator with equal deficiency indices in a separable complex Hilbert space $H$. In this paper, we prove that $T$ has a self-adjoint extension with compact resolvent if and only if the domain…

Let S be a symmetric relation with deficiency index (1,1). In this article, we extend Krein`s resolvent formalism in order to describe all, not necessarily self-adjoint, extensions $S \subset \tilde{A}$ with $\varrho(\tilde{A})\neq…

Let $C$ be a conjugation on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. A densely defined linear operator $A$ on $\mathcal{H}$ is called $C$-symmetric if $CAC\subseteq A^*$ and $C$-self-adjoint if $CAC=A^*$. Our main results describe all…

Given a symmetric linear transformation on a Hilbert space, a natural problem to consider is the characterization of its set of symmetric extensions. This problem is equivalent to the study of the partial isometric extensions of a fixed…

We compute the deficiency spaces of operators of the form $H_A{\hat{\otimes}} I + I{\hat{\otimes}} H_B$, for symmetric $H_A$ and self-adjoint $H_B$. This enables us to construct self-adjoint extensions (if they exist) by means of von…

We provide a streamlined construction of the Friedrichs extension of a densely-defined self-adjoint and semibounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, by means of a symmetric pair of operators. A \emph{symmetric pair} is…

We consider operator-valued Herglotz functions and their applications to self-adjoint perturbations of self-adjoint operators and self-adjoint extensions of densely defined closed symmetric operators. Our applications include model…

We develop a duality theory for unbounded Hermitian operators with dense domain in Hilbert space. As is known, the obstruction for a Hermitian operator to be selfadjoint or to have selfadjoint extensions is measured by a pair of deficiency…
