Finite rank perturbations in Pontryagin Spaces and a Sturm–Liouville problem with λ-rational boundary conditions

For selfadjoint operators A 1 and A 2 in a Pontryagin space Πκ such that the resolvent difference of A 1 and A 2 is n-dimensional it is shown that the dimensions of the spectral subspaces corresponding to open intervals in gaps of the essential spectrum differ at most by n+2κ. This is a natural exte...
