Extensions, dilations and functional models of discrete Dirac operators

Abstract

A space of boundary values is constructed for minimal symmetric discrete Dirac operators in the limit-circle case. A description of all maximal dissipative, maximal accretive and self-adjoint extensions of such a symmetric operator is given in terms of boundary conditions at infinity. We construct a self-adjoint dilation of a maximal dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations, which make it possible to determine the scattering matrix of the dilation. We also construct a functional model of the dissipative operator and its characteristic function. Finally, we prove the completeness of the system of eigenvectors and associated vectors of dissipative operators.
