This paper has two main goals. First, we are concerned with a description of all self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian $$ - \Delta {|_{C_0^\infty (\Omega )}}$$ in L2(Ω; dnx). Here, the domain Ω belongs to a subclass of bounded Lipschitz domains (which we term quasi-convex domains), that contains all convex domains as well as all domains of class C1,r, for r > 1/2. Second, we establish Kreĭn-type formulas for the resolvents of the various self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian in quasiconvex domains and study the well-posedness of boundary value problems for the Laplacian as well as basic properties of the corresponding Weyl-Titchmarsh operators (or energy-dependent Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps). One significant innovation in this paper is an extension of the classical boundary trace theory for functions in spaces that lack Sobolev regularity in a traditional sense, but are suitably adapted to the Laplacian.
