Boundary relations and generalized resolvents of symmetric operators
The Kre\u{\i}n-Naimark formula provides a parametrization of all selfadjoint
exit space extensions of a, not necessarily densely defined, symmetric
operator, in terms of maximal dissipative (in \dC_+) holomorphic linear
relations on the parameter space (the so-called Nevanlinna families). The new
notion of a boundary relation makes it possible to interpret these parameter
families as Weyl families of boundary relations and to establish a simple
coupling method to construct the generalized resolvents from the given
parameter family. The general version of the coupling method is introduced and
the role of boundary relations and their Weyl families for the
Kre\u{\i}n-Naimark formula is investigated and explained.Comment: 47 page

Spectral estimates for resolvent differences of self-adjoint elliptic operators
The concept of quasi boundary triples and Weyl functions from extension theory of symmetric operators in Hilbert spaces is developed further and spectral estimates for resolvent differences of two self-adjoint extensions in terms of general operator ideals are proved. The abstract results are applied to self-adjoint realizations of second order elliptic differential operators on bounded and exterior domains, and partial differential operators with δ-potentials supported on hypersurfaces are studied
