Abstract
The paper is a survey and concerns with infinite symmetric block Jacobi matrices J with m × m-matrix entries. We discuss several results on general block Jacobi matrices to be either self-adjoint or have maximal as well as intermediate deficiency indices. We also discuss several conditions for J to have discrete spectrum.
