The Krein Formula for Generalized Resolvents in Degenerated Inner Product Spaces

 Let S be a symmetric operator with defect index (1,1) in a Pontryagin space ℋ. The Krein formula establishes a bijective correspondence between the generalized resolvents of S and the set of Nevanlinna functions as parameters. We give an analogue of the Krein formula in the case that ℋ is a degenerated inner product space. The set of parameters is determined by a kernel condition. These results are applied to some classical interpolation problems with singular data.
