Geometry of Weyl theory for Jacobi matrices with matrix entries

TLDR
In this article, the Weyl surface describing the dependence of Green's matrix on the boundary conditions is interpreted as the set of maximally isotropic subspaces of a quadratic form given by the Wronskian.
Abstract
A Jacobi matrix with matrix entries is a self-adjoint block tridiagonal matrix with invertible blocks on the off-diagonals. The Weyl surface describing the dependence of Green’s matrix on the boundary conditions is interpreted as the set of maximally isotropic subspaces of a quadratic form given by the Wronskian. Analysis of the possibly degenerate limit quadratic form leads to the limit point/limit surface theory of maximal symmetric extensions for semi-infinite Jacobi matrices with matrix entries with arbitrary deficiency indices. The resolvent of the extensions is calculated explicitly.

Non-Hermitian spectra and Anderson localization

TL;DR: The spectrum of exponents of the transfer matrix provides the localization length of Anderson's model for a particle in a lattice with disordered potential as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown that a duality identity for determinants and Jensen's identity for subharmonic functions, give a formula for the spectrum in terms of eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian with non-Hermitian boundary conditions.

The Classical Moment Problem as a Self-Adjoint Finite Difference Operator

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive exposition of the classical moment problem using methods from the theory of finite difference operators is presented, where the Nevanlinna functions appear as elements of a transfer matrix and convergence of Pade approximants appears as the strong resolvent convergence of finite matrix approximations to a Jacobi matrix.
