Abstract

The problem of realization of nontrivial perturbations supported on thin sets of “codimension” ν in Rn for elliptic operators of order m, when ν≥2m, is formulated as one of construction of the self-adjoint extensions of some symmetric linear relation in an indefinite metric space. The self-adjoint extensions and their resolvents are described. It is found that the same extensions can be obtained as a result of extensions of some symmetric operator in L2 (Rn) with it going out to a larger indefinite metric space. But such an operator is chosen already by the “nonlocal” boundary conditions. Applications to quantum models of point interactions are discussed.
