Fredholmness and index of simplest weighted singular integral operators with two slowly oscillating shifts (Q2341448): Difference between revisions

Let \(\mathrm{SO}({\mathbb R}_{+})\) be the set of all slowly oscillating at \(0\) and \(\infty\) functions, i.e., the set of all bounded continuous functions on \(\mathbb R_{+}\) such that, for all \(\lambda\in(0,1)\), \( \lim_{r\to s}\sup_{t,\tau\in[\lambda r,r]} | f(t)-f(\tau) | =0 \) for \(s=0\) and \(s=\infty\). Denote by \(\mathrm{SOS}(\mathbb R_{+})\) (slowly oscillating shifts) the set of all orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms \(\alpha:\mathbb R_{+}\to\mathbb R_{+}\) having only two fixed points \(0\) and \(\infty\) such that \(\log\alpha'\) is bounded and \(\alpha'\in \mathrm{SO}(\mathbb R_{+})\). Let \(U_{\alpha}\) be the weighted shift operator on \(L^{p}(\mathbb R_{+})\) (\(1<p<\infty\)) defined by the formula \(U_{\alpha}f=(\alpha')^{1/p}f\circ \alpha\). Let \(\gamma\in\mathbb C\) and \(0<1/p+\Re\gamma<1\). Then the weighted Cauchy singular integral operator \(S_{\gamma}\), given by the formula \[ (S_{\gamma}f)(t) = \frac{1}{\pi i}\,\text{v.p.}\int_{\mathbb R_{+}} \left( \frac{t}{\tau} \right)^{\gamma} \frac{f(\tau)}{\tau-t}\,d\tau, \] is bounded on the space \(L^{p}(\mathbb R_{+})\). Consider the weighted singular integral operator with two shifts \(\alpha,\beta\in\mathrm{SOS}(\mathbb R_{+})\) defined by the relation \(A_{ij}=U_{\alpha}^{i}P_{\gamma}^{+}+U_{\beta}^{j}P_{\gamma}^{-}\), where \(i,j\in\mathbb Z\), \(P_{\gamma}^{\pm}=\frac{1}{2}(I\pm S_{\gamma})\). The main result of the paper is a sufficient condition of the following property: \(A_{ij}\) is the Fredholm operator with index zero.
