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…

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…

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…

In this paper we prove an invertibility criterion for certain operators which is given as a linear algebraic combination of Toeplitz operators and Fourier multipliers acting on the Hardy space of the unit disc. Very similar to the case of…

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…

In the context of finite tensor products of Hilbert spaces, we prove that similarity of a tensor product of operator semigroups to a contraction semigroup is equivalent to the corresponding similarity for each factor, after an appropriate…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the operator class in which every nonzero intertwiner between two operators in $\mathcal{A}$ has dense range. Utilizing the operators in $\mathcal{A}$ as atoms and the flag structure as connection, we introduce an…

A classical problem in operator theory has been to determine the spectrum of Toeplitz-like operators on Hilbert spaces of vector-valued holomorphic functions on the open unit ball in C^m. In this note we obtain necessary conditions for…

Recurrence and explicit formulae for contractions (partial traces) of antisymmetric and symmetric products of identical trace class operators are derived. Contractions of product density operators of systems of identical fermions and bosons…

We characterize lower semi-Fredholm and Fredholm of weighted composition operators on $C(K)$ in the case when the corresponding map is an open surjection of the compact space $K$ onto itself. The obtained criterions involve the notion of…

Isometries played a pivotal role in the development of operator theory, in particular with the theory of contractions and polar decompositions and has been widely studied due to its fundamental importance in the theory of stochastic…

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…

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact group acting on a smooth, compact manifold $M$, let $P \in \psi^m(M; E_0, E_1)$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant, classical pseudodifferential operator acting between sections of two equivariant vector bundles $E_i \to M$,…

The paper gives a negative answer to the question whether one can perturb a Fredholm pair of index 0 by compact operators to a pair with exact Koszul complex.

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…

Spectral asymptotics of a tensor product of compact operators in Hilbert space with known marginal asymptotics is studied. Methods of A. Karol', A. Nazarov and Ya. Nikitin (Trans. AMS, 2008) are generalized for operators with almost regular…

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…

We extend the relative index theorem on non-compact manifolds to encompass a wide variety of hypoelliptic differential operators of arbitrary order, demonstrating that the change in index when changing a differential operator locally can be…

We study the problem when an almost commuting $n$-tuple self-adjoint operators in an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space $H$ is close to an $n$-tuple of commuting self-adjoint operators on $H.$ We give an affirmative answer to the…
