In the setting of several commuting operators on a Hilbert space one defines the notions of invertibility and Fredholmness in terms of the associated Koszul complex. The index problem then consists of computing the Euler characteristic of…

If a differential operator $D$ on a smooth Hermitian vector bundle $S$ over a compact manifold $M$ is symmetric, it is essentially self-adjoint and so admits the use of functional calculus. If $D$ is also elliptic, then the Hilbert space of…

In this paper we define B-Fredholm elements in a Banach algebra $A$ modulo an ideal $J$ of $A.$ When a trace function is given on the ideal $J,$ it generate an index for B-Fredholm elements. In the case of a B-Fredholm operator $T$ acting…

Markov processes are well understood in the case when they take place in the whole Euclidean space. However, the situation becomes much more complicated if a Markov process is restricted to a domain with a boundary, and then a satisfactory…
