%0 Journal Article %T Self-adjointness via partial Hardy-like inequalities %A Maria J. Esteban %A Michael Loss %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Distinguished selfadjoint extensions of operators which are not semibounded can be deduced from the positivity of the Schur Complement (as a quadratic form). In practical applications this amounts to proving a Hardy-like inequality. Particular cases are Dirac-Coulomb operators where distinguished selfadjoint extensions are obtained for the optimal range of coupling constants. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0805.4675v1
