T ∗ T always has a positive selfadjoint extension

Abstract: T * T is selfadjoint if T is a densely defined closed Hilbert space operator. This result of von Neumann can be generalized for not necessarily closed operators: T * T always admits a positive selfadjoint extension. The Friedrichs extension also will be obtained whenever T * T is assumed to be densely defined. Selfadjointness of T * T will be investigated. Densely defined positive operators and their Friedrichs extension A and AF , respectively, will be described by showing the existence of a closable operator… Show more

“…As it was shown in [13], T * T is not necessarily selfadjoint but it always has a positive selfadjoint extension, namely its smallest, so called Krein-von Neumann extension. Below we give an alternative proof of that statement, constructing a selfadjoint extension of T by means of the canonical graph projection of H × K onto G(T ).…”

“…Instead of using the defect index theory developed by J. von Neumann, our method involves the range of M S,S . In Theorem 7.3 we also present a new proof of the fact that T * T always has a positive selfadjoint extension (see [13]). In section 8 we characterize densely defined closed operators.…”

“…In the case that S is densely defined Theorem 2.4 gives the following result. in [24] these factorizations for S ≥ 0 were constructed in another way. Theorem 2.4 involves the Friedrichs extension S F of S. There is a similar result for the Kreȋn extension S K of S. The Kreȋn extension in the nonnegative case was introduced and studied in [19].…”

“…Note that if T is not closed, then T * (I + iB)T is a sectorial relation which may have maximal sectorial extensions, such as T * (I + iB)T * * and some of these extensions have been determined in [5]; cf. [10].…”
