A definition of frames for Krein spaces is proposed, which extends the notion of J-orthonormal basis of Krein spaces. A J-frame for a Krein space (H, [ , ]) is in particular a frame for H in the Hilbert space sense. But it is also compatible with the indefinite inner product [ , ], meaning that it determines a pair of maximal uniformly J-definite subspaces with different positivity, an analogue to the maximal dual pair associated to a J-orthonormal basis.Also, each J-frame induces an indefinite reconstruction formula for the vectors in H, which resembles the one given by a J-orthonormal basis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
