An algebra of singular integral operators with kernels of bounded oscillation, and application to periodic differential operators (Q909983): Difference between revisions

This work is concerned with the Fredholm properties of the operators of the \(C^*\)-subalgebra \({\mathcal A}\) of \({\mathcal L}({\mathcal H})\), \({\mathcal H}=L^ 2({\mathbb{R}})\), generated by multiplication and convolution operators as follows: i) multiplication by function in CS(\({\mathbb{R}});\) ii) multiplication by \(e^{ikx}\), \(k\in {\mathbb{Z}};\) iii) the Fourier multipliers \(b(D)=F^{-1}b(x)F\) where \(b\in CS({\mathbb{R}})\) and F is the Fourier transform. A characterization of Fredholm operators \(A\in {\mathcal A}\) is given in terms of their symbols \(\sigma_ A\) and \(\nu_ A\) along with a general index formula.
