Synopsis

A previous attempt to systematize various conditions from multiparameter spectral theory is extended to weaker forms of definiteness. The latter not only occur in the established literature but are also under active investigation at present. Several algebraic and geometrical formulations exist, and questions concerning their equivalence are approached in a unified fashion where possible.
