Weyl families of transformed boundary pairs

Abstract

AbstractLet be an isometric boundary pair associated with a closed symmetric linear relation T in a Krein space . Let be the Weyl family corresponding to . We cope with two main topics. First, since need not be (generalized) Nevanlinna, the characterization of the closure and the adjoint of a linear relation , for some , becomes a nontrivial task. Regarding as the (Shmul'yan) transform of induced by Γ, we give conditions for the equality in to hold and we compute the adjoint . As an application, we ask when the resolvent set of the main transform associated with a unitary boundary pair for is nonempty. Based on the criterion for the closeness of , we give a sufficient condition for the answer. From this result it follows, for example, that, if T is a standard linear relation in a Pontryagin space, then the Weyl family corresponding to a boundary relation Γ for is a generalized Nevanlinna family; a similar conclusion is already known if T is an operator. In the second topic, we characterize the transformed boundary pair with its Weyl family . The transformation scheme is either or with suitable linear relations V. Results in this direction include but are not limited to: a 1‐1 correspondence between and ; the formula for , for an ordinary boundary triple and a standard unitary operator V (first scheme); construction of a quasi boundary triple from an isometric boundary triple with and (second scheme, Hilbert space case).
