Synopsis

The following conjecture of Race will be proved: if τ is a formally J-symmetric quasi-differential expression on a real interval I, such that for some λ = ℂ all solutions of τy = τy belong to L2(I), then λ belongs to the regularity field of the minimal operator To generated by τ in L2(l).
