The self-adjoint Schrödinger operator A δ,α with a δ-interaction of constant strength α supported on a compact smooth hypersurface C is viewed as a self-adjoint extension of a natural underlying symmetric operator S in L 2 (R n ). The aim of this note is to construct a boundary triple for S * and a self-adjoint parameter Θ δ,α in the boundary space L 2 (C) such that A δ,α corresponds to the boundary condition induced by Θ δ,α . As a consequence the well-developed theory of boundary triples and their Weyl functions can be applied. This leads, in particular, to a Krein-type resolvent formula and a description of the spectrum of A δ,α in terms of the Weyl function and Θ δ,α .
