“…We adapt the terminology of M. H. Stone [19] and say that S and T are adjoint to each other if they satisfy (1.1) and write S ∧ T, in that case (cf. also [8,14,18]). Our main purpose in this paper is to provide a method to verify whether the operators S and T under the weaker condition S ∧ T satisfy the stronger property S * = T , or the much stronger one of being adjoint of each other, i.e., S * = T and T * = S. In this direction our main results are Theorem 2.2 and Theorem 3.1 which give necessary and sufficient conditions by means of the operator matrix M S,T := I −T S I acting on the product Hilbert space H × K.…”

In general, it is a non trivial task to determine the adjoint S * of an unbounded operator S acting between two Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a given operator T to be identical with S * . In our considerations, a central role is played by the operator matrix M S,T = I −T S I . Our approach has several consequences such as characterizations of closed, normal, skew-and selfadjoint, unitary and orthogonal projection operators in real or complex Hilbert spaces. We also give a self-contained proof of the fact that T * T always has a positive selfadjoint extension.1991 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 47A05, 47B25. Key words and phrases.

“…The importance of the role of the operator matrix M S,T initiates the recent papers of the authors [8,9,14,16,18]. The "flip" operator W : K × H → H × K will also be useful for our analysis, which is defined as follows (see [2]):…”

Columns and rows are operations for pairs of linear relations in Hilbert spaces, modelled on the corresponding notions of the componentwise sum and the usual sum of such pairs. The introduction of matrices whose entries are linear relations between underlying component spaces takes place via the row and column operations. The main purpose here is to offer an attempt to formalize the operational calculus for block matrices, whose entries are all linear relations. Each block relation generates a unique linear relation between the Cartesian products of initial and final Hilbert spaces that admits particular properties which will be characterized. Special attention is paid to the formal matrix multiplication of two blocks of linear relations and the connection to the usual product of the unique linear relations generated by them. In the present general setting these two products need not be connected to each other without some additional conditions.

Given two linear operators S and T acting between Hilbert spaces H and K , respectively K and H which satisfy the relationi.e., according to the classical terminology of M.H. Stone, which are adjoint to each other, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions in order to ensure the equality between the closure of S and the adjoint of T. A central role in our approach is played by the range of the operator matrixWe obtain, as consequences, several results characterizing skewadjointness, selfadjointness and essential selfadjointness. We improve, in particular, the celebrated selfadjointness criterion of J. von Neumann.
