The index for Fredholm elements in a Banach algebra via a trace

J. J. Grobler, H. Raubenheimer (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that the existence of a trace on an ideal in a Banach algebra provides an elegant way to develop the abstract index theory of Fredholm elements in the algebra. We prove some results on the problem of the equality of the nonzero exponential spectra of elements ab and ba and use the index theory to formulate a condition guaranteeing this equality in a quotient algebra.

An Atkinson-type theorem for B-Fredholm operators

M. Berkani, M. Sarih (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Let X be a Banach space and let T be a bounded linear operator acting on X. Atkinson's well known theorem says that T is a Fredholm operator if and only if its projection in the algebra L(X)/F₀(X) is invertible, where F₀(X) is the ideal of finite rank operators in the algebra L(X) of bounded linear operators acting on X. In the main result of this paper we establish an Atkinson-type theorem for B-Fredholm operators. More precisely we prove that T is a B-Fredholm operator if and only...

Fredholm determinants and the Evans function for difference equations

David Cramer, Yuri Latushkin (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We develop a difference equations analogue of recent results by F. Gesztesy, K. A. Makarov, and the second author relating the Evans function and Fredholm determinants of operators with semi-separable kernels.

The geometry of Kato Grassmannians

Bogdan Bojarski, Giorgi Khimshiashvili (2005)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We discuss Fredholm pairs of subspaces and associated Grassmannians in a Hilbert space. Relations between several existing definitions of Fredholm pairs are established as well as some basic geometric properties of the Kato Grassmannian. It is also shown that the so-called restricted Grassmannian can be endowed with a natural Fredholm structure making it into a Fredholm Hilbert manifold.
