Summary: We show a sufficient condition for selfadjointness and spectral commutation of a system of unbounded symmetric operators in a Pontryagin space. The main concepts are domination and the set of bounded vectors of an operator. We investigate also operator matrices with unbounded entries and prove a Pontryagin space version of the Nelson's criterion.

Keywords: Symmetric operator, Pontryagin space, operator matrix
