Abstract: Abstract Locally Locally definitizable operators definitizable Spectrum operators have locally the same spectral properties as definitizable operators in Kreĭn spaces. It is shown in this note how to define spectral points of positive/negative type and spectral points of type π + ∕ π − $$\pi _{+}/\pi _{-}$$ via approximative eigensequences. This approach has the advantage that it does not make use of a local spectral function. Moreover, perturbation results for locally definitizable operators are discussed. Spectral points of type π + and π − are stable under compact perturbations. For real spectral points of type π + and type π − which are not in the interior of the spectrum the growth of the resolvent in an open neighborhood of these spectral points is of finite order. This can be utilized to show the existence of a local spectral function with singularities. With the help of this local spectral function one can also characterize spectral points of positive/negative type and spectral points of type π + and type π −: It turns out that all spectral subspaces corresponding to sufficiently small neighborhoods of spectral points of positive/negative type are Hilbert or anti-Hilbert spaces and spectral subspaces corresponding to spectral points of type π + or type π − are Pontryagin spaces. Locally definitizable operators are used in the study of indefinite Sturm–Liouville problems, λ-dependent boundary value problems, 𝒫 𝒯 $$\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$$ -symmetric operators, and partial differential equations and in the study of problems of Klein–Gordon type.
