We consider the question: To what extend does the Weyl function (i.e., the abstract Dirichlet-to-Neumann map) see the same singularities as the resolvent of some restriction of the maximal operator. The proper, so-called detectable, subspace will be introduced and analyzed for particular examples, such as, Schrodinger operators, Hain–Lust operators, and (if time permits), the Friedrichs model o...
