We present a method for the construction of a Krein space completion forspaces of test functions, equipped with an indefinite inner product induced bya kernel which is more singular than a distribution of finite order. Thisgeneralizes a regularization method for infrared singularities in quantum fieldtheory, introduced by G. Morchio and F. Strocchi, to the case of singularitesof infinite order. We give conditions for the possibility of this procedure interms of local differential operators and the Gelfand- Shilov test functionspaces, as well as an abstract sufficient condition. As a model case weconstruct a maximally positive definite state space for the Heisenberg algebrain the presence of an infinite infrared singularity.Comment: 18 pages, typos corrected, journal-ref added, reference adde
