Abstract

We consider a Krein space isometry whose defect subspaces are Hilbert spaces and we show that its minimal unitary Hilbert space extensions are related to one-step isometric Hilbert space extensions and Schur parameters. These unitary extensions give rise to moments and scattering matrices defined on a scale subspace. By means of these notions we solve the labeling problem for the contractive intertwining liftings in the commutant lifting theorem for Krein space contractions.
