We study compactness and the Fredholm property for linear operators on coorbit spaces over locally compact abelian phase spaces. In contrast to previous works, we do not impose any countability assumptions on the underlying groups. Our…
This paper is a continuation of the paper (A.G.Ramm, Amer. Math. Monthly, 108, N 9, (2001), 855-860), where bounded Fredholm operators are studied. The theory of bounded linear Fredholm-type operators is presented in many texts. This paper…
We study two abstract scenarios, where an operator family has a certain minimality property. In both scenarios, it is shown that norm, spectrum and resolvent are the same for all family members. Both abstract settings are illustrated by…
For operators belonging either to a class of global bisingular pseudodifferential operators on $R^m \times R^n$ or to a class of bisingular pseudodifferential operators on a product $M \times N$ of two closed smooth manifolds, we show the…
Based on operators borrowed from scattering theory, several concrete realizations of index theorems are proposed. The corresponding operators belong to some C*-algebras of pseudo-differential operators with coefficients which either have…
This largely pedagogical paper recalls some facts on defect numbers of products of closed operators employing results from the theory of semi-Fredholm operators and then applies these facts to positive integer powers of symmetric operators…
We show that the existence of a Fredholm element of the zero calculus of pseudodifferential operators on a compact manifold with boundary with a given elliptic symbol is determined, up to stability, by the vanishing of the Atiyah-Bott…
The celebrated Fredholm alternative theorem works for the setting of identity compact operators. This idea has been widely used to solve linear partial differential equations \cite{Evans}. In this article, we demonstrate a generalized…
This paper is devoted to Fredholm realizations of semi-Fredholm operators in a Hilbert space. Such a realization is determined by an abstract boundary condition, which is a subspace of the space of abstract boundary values. We find the…
This is an expository article. It discusses an approach to hypoelliptic Fredholm index theory based on noncommutative methods (groupoids, C*-algebras, K-theory). The paper starts with an explicit index theorem for scalar second order…
We study the essential spectrum and Fredholm properties of integral and pseudodiferential operators associated to (maybe non-commutative) locally compact groups G. The techniques involve crossed product C*-algebras. We extend previous…
The main aim of the paper is Fredholm properties of a class of bounded linear operators acting on weighted Lebesgue spaces on an infinite metric graph $\Gamma$ which is periodic with respect to the action of the group ${\mathbb Z}^n$. The…
In the context of an infinite locally finite weighted graph, we give a necessary and sufficientcondition for semi-Fredholmness of the Gauss-Bonnet operator. This result is a discrete version of thetheorem of Gilles Carron in the continuous…
We consider bisingular pseudodifferential operators which are pseudodifferential operators of tensor product type. These operators are defined on the product manifold $M_1 \times M_2$, for closed manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$. We prove a…
After recalling a fundamental identity relating traces and modified Fredholm determinants, we apply it to a class of half-line Schr\"odinger operators $(- d^2/dx^2) + q$ on $(0,\infty)$ with purely discrete spectra. Roughly speaking, the…
On filtered manifolds one can define a different notion of order for the differential operators. In this paper, we use generalized fixed point algebras to construct a pseudodifferential extension that reflects this behaviour. In the…
We answer the question of when an invariant pseudodifferential operator is Fredholm on a fixed, given isotypical component. More precisely, let $\Gamma$ be a compact group acting on a smooth, compact, manifold $M$ without boundary and let…
The Fredholm property of Toeplitz operators on the $p$-Fock spaces $F_\alpha^p$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is studied. A general Fredholm criterion for arbitrary operators from the Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ on $F_\alpha^p$ in terms…
In this paper we study the semi-Fredholm property of band-dominated operators $A$ and prove that it already implies the Fredholmness of $A$ in all cases where this is not disqualified by obvious reasons. Moreover, this observation is…
Let X be a smooth compact manifold with boundary. For smooth foliations on the boundary of X admitting a `resolution' in terms of a fibration, we construct a pseudodifferential calculus generalizing the fibred cusp calculus of Mazzeo and…
