Abstract

The similarity problem for non-self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator having equal deficiency indices is studied. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a wide class of such operators to be similar to self-adjoint ones are obtained. The paper is based on the construction of functional model for the operators of the class considered due to Ryzhov [26, 25] and extends the results of [10] to this class. In addition to solving the similarity problem for the operator itself, we also give necessary and sufficient conditions for similarity of its restrictions to spectral subspaces corresponding to arbitrary Borel sets of the real line. These conditions (together with the technique employed while establishing them) have their direct analogues in the setting of the paper [10].
