Rearrangement Invariant Orthogonal Sums in Krein Spaces. II

Part I of the paper considered infinite orthogonal sums of regular subspaces in a Krein space (that is, of subspaces which are themselves Krein spaces). How precisely these sums should be defined and conditions for when such a sum is itself regular were examined. These included, for example, a boundedness condition for the sum of the corresponding orthogonal projections. The same problem is addressed here for (quasi-)pseudo-regular subspaces. Such subspaces happen to be the orthogonal direct sum of a regular space and an isotropic, or neutral, subspace. Alternate characterizations of such subspaces are given, and infinite orthogonal sums are examined via unconditional, or Moore-Smith, sums of operator ranges.

Hermitian indices and factorization of selfadjoint operators on a Kreĭn space

The hermitian indices of a selfadjoint operator $C$ on a Kreĭn space $\mathcal H$ are defined as geometric measures of positivity and negativity of the operator. A different pair of indices arises in the Bognár-Krámli factorization of $C$, which writes $C$ as a product $AA^*$ where $A$ acts on a Kreĭn space $\mathcal A$ into $\mathcal H$ and has zero kernel; the new indices are the positive and negative indices of $\mathcal A$. Such factorizations are far from unique. When $\mathcal H$ is separable, it is known that the two notions of indices always coincide, and this has applications to index formulas in the theory of Julia operators and completion problems for operator matrices. A new proof of the equality of indices that does not require separability is given in this work.

The operator Fejer-Riesz theorem

The Fejer-Riesz theorem has inspired numerous generalizations in one and several variables, and for matrix- and operator-valued functions. This paper is a survey of some old and recent topics that center around Rosenblum's operator generalization of the classical Fejer-Riesz theorem.
