Abstract

Indefinite inner product, which in the case of Kreĭn space is under control of a “symmetry” (=selfadjoint, unitary operator customarily denoted by J), can be treated in more relaxed way if the requirement of selfadjointness of J is dropped. Still in this case a Hilbert space is behind the scene and the role of J is to extend the range of methods which can be used for detecting diverse properties of the operators involved. A typical model on which many guesses can be done is an ℒ2(μ) space, where μ is a complex measure. In this paper I intend to build up a framework for the theory to be developed.
