The Fredholm index of a pair of commuting operators
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper concerns Fredholm theory in several variables, and its applications to Hilbert spaces of analytic functions. One feature is the introduction of ideas from commutative algebra to operator theory. Specifically, we introduce a method to calculate the Fredholm index of a pair of commuting operators. To achieve this, we define and study the Hilbert space analogs of Samuel multiplicities in commutative algebra. Then the theory is applied to the symmetric Fock space. In particular, our results imply a satisfactory answer to Arveson’s program on developing a Fredholm theory for pure d-contractions when d = 2, including both the Fredholmness problem and the calculation of indices. We also show that Arveson’s curvature invariant is in fact always equal to the Samuel multiplicity for an arbitrary pure d-contraction with finite defect rank. It follows that the curvature is a similarity invariant. ∗Partially supported by National Science Foundation Grant DMS 0400509

A Note on the Index of B-fredholm Operators
From Corollary 3.5 in [Berkani, M; Sarih, M.; Studia Math. 148 (2001), 251– 257] we know that if S, T are commuting B-Fredholm operators acting on a Banach space X, then ST is a B-Fredholm operator. In this note we show that in general we do not have ind(ST ) = ind(S) + ind(T ), contrarily to what has been announced in Theorem 3.2 in [Berkani, M; Proc. Amer.Math. Soc. 130 (2002), 1717–1723]. Ho...
متن کاملOn the Fredholm and Weyl Spectrum of Several Commuting Operators
In the paper one considers the local structure of the Fredholm joint spectrum of commuting n-tuples of operators. A connection between the spatial characteristics of operators and the algebraic invariant of the corresponding coherent sheaves is investigated. A notion of Weyl joint spectrum of commuting n-tuple is introduced.
متن کاملThe Sums and Products of Commuting AC-Operators
Abstract: In this paper, we exhibit new conditions for the sum of two commuting AC-operators to be again an AC-operator. In particular, this is satisfied on Hilbert space when one of them is a scalar-type spectral operator.
متن کاملTHE DIRAC OPERATOR OF A COMMUTING d-TUPLE
Given a commuting d-tuple T̄ = (T1, . . . , Td) of otherwise arbitrary operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator DT̄ . Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of DT̄ , including the Taylor spectrum and the notion of Fredholmness. In fact, all properties of T̄ derive from its Dirac operator. We introduce a general notion of Dirac operator (in dimen...
