Invariant maximal positive subspaces and polar decompositions

It is proved that invertible operators on a Krein space which have an invariant maximal uniformly positive subspace and map its orthogonal complement into a nonnegative subspace allow polar decompositions with additional spectral properties. As a corollary, several classes of Krein space operators are shown to allow polar decompositions. An example in a finite dimensional Krein space shows that there exist dissipative operators that do not allow polar decompositions.
