Semi-Fredholm spectrum and Weyl's theorem for operator matrices (Q2431904): Difference between revisions

For \(A\in BL(H)\) and \(B\in BL(K)\), a necessary and sufficient condition for the operator \(M_{C}=\left( \begin{smallmatrix} A & B\\ 0 & C \end{smallmatrix} \right) \) acting on the Hilbert space \(H\oplus K\) to be an upper semi-Fredholm (lower semi-Fredholm, or Fredholm) operator for some \(C\in BL(K,H)\) is given. In particular, it is shown that the passage from \({\sigma}_{{SF}_{\pm}}(M_{C})\) to \(\sigma_{{SF}_{\pm}}(A)\cup \sigma_{{SF}_{\pm}}(B)\) is the filling in certain of the holes in \({\sigma}_{{SF}_{\pm}}(M_{C})\). Finally, the authors explore how Weyl's theorem, Browder's theorem, a-Weyl's theorem and a-Browder's theorem survive for \(2\times 2\) upper triangular operator matrices on Hilbert spaces.
