The self-adjoint realization problem in an indefinite metric space for high-order singular perturbations of a differential operator was investigated. The point perturbation of the Laplacian in ${\bf R}^n$ with $n\ge 4$ as well as point-like perturbations acting in subspaces with nonzero angular momentum are good examples. In the case of perturbations supported by finite number points a solution of this problem was given in terms of canonical self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operators in appropriate Pontryagin spaces $\Pi_\kappa$ with a negative index $\kappa$, which is determined by the order and rank of singular perturbation. This symmetric operator is completely characterized by a generalized Nevanlinna function of the form $Q(z)=(z^2+1)^{\kappa}Q_0(z)+P_{2kappa-1}(z)$, where $Q_0(z)$ is a matrix Nevanlinna function and $P_{2kappa-1}(z)$ is a self-adjoint matrix polynomial of degree at most $2\kapa-1$. The generalized Nevanlinna functions of this form and their operator representations play the key role in our method. More detail theory was developed (jointly with A. Dijksma, H. Langer, A. Luther and C. Zeinstra) for singular rank one perturbation. In particular an algorithm was described which solves separation of the nonpositive type spectrum from the rest of the spectrum. As by-product a new factorization of generalized Nevanlinna functions was derived. It was shown also how factorization lead to Hilbert space operators which serve as suitable Hamiltonians. The last result was generalized and the factorization of arbitrary generalized Nevanlinna function from the class $N_\kappa$ in product of a rational Blaschke factor and a Nevanlinna function from $N_0$ was proven.
Biography
Graduated from Faculty of Physics of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) in 1975 (department of quantum theory). Ph.D. thesis was prepared and defended in 1979 at the V. A. Steklov Mathematical Institute. Senior Scientist since 1988. A list of my works contains more than 30 titles.
In the period 1978–1991 I worked at the Institute of Applied Physics of Moldovian Academy of Science (Department of Statistical Physics). Since 1991 I have been working at Nizhny Novgorod Pedagogical University (Department of Theoretical Physics). Chief of this department since 2001.
