Diagonalization and representation results for nonpositive sesquilinear form measures

We study decompositions of operator measures and more general sesquilinear form measures $E$ into linear combinations of positive parts, and their diagonal vector expansions. The underlying philosophy is to represent $E$ as a trace class valued measure of bounded variation on a new Hilbert space related to $E$. The choice of the auxiliary Hilbert space fixes a unique decomposition with certain properties, but this choice itself is not canonical. We present relations to Naimark type dilations and direct integrals.
