Abstract

Here we give brief account of Hermitian symplectic spaces, showing that they are intimately connected to symmetric as well as self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator. Furthermore, we find an explicit parametrization of the Lagrange Grassmannian in terms of the unitary matrices . This allows us to explicitly describe all self-adjoint boundary conditions for the Schrödinger operator on the graph in terms of a unitary matrix. We show that the asymptotics of the scattering matrix can be expressed simply in terms of this unitary matrix.
