On the topological boundary of semi-Fredholm operators

Perturbation Results on Semi-Fredholm Operators and Applications

We give some results concerning stability in the Fredholm operators and Browder operators set, via the concept of measure of noncompactness. Moreover, we prove some localization results on the essential spectra of bounded operators on Banach space. As application, we describe the essential spectra of weighted shift operators. Finally, we describe the spectra of polynomially compact operators, a...

Some Remarks on Perturbation Classes of Semi-Fredholm and Fredholm Operators

We show the existence of Banach spaces X, Y such that the set of strictly singular operators ᏿(X,Y) (resp., the set of strictly cosingular operators Ꮿ᏿(X,Y)) would be strictly included in F + (X,Y) (resp., F − (X,Y)) for the nonempty class of closed densely defined upper semi-Fredholm operators Φ + (X,Y) (resp., for the nonempty class of closed densely defined lower semi-Fredholm operators Φ − ...

Notes on Fredholm operators

(2) If K ∈ B(X) is compact, then for all λ ∈ C \ {0}, K − λ1 is Fredholm with index zero. (3) The shift operator S± ∈ B(`p) for 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞ defined by (S±x)n = xn±1 is Fredholm with index ±1. (4) If X,Y are finite dimensional and T ∈ B(X,Y ), then by the Rank-Nullity Theorem, ind(T ) = dim(X)− dim(Y ). Lemma 3. Suppose E,F ⊆ X are closed subspaces with F finite dimensional. (1) The subspace E + F...

On the space of Fredholm operators

We compare various topologies on the space of (possibly unbounded) Fredholm selfadjoint operators and explain their K-theoretic relevance.∗ Introduction The work of Atiyah and Singer on the index of elliptic operators on manifolds has singled out the role of the space of bounded Fredholm operators in topology. It is a classifying space for a very useful functor, the topological K-theory. This m...
