The (generalized) Weylness of upper triangular operator matrices (Q2220985)

Given two complex, infinite dimensional, separable Hilbert spaces \(H\) and \(K\), the authors study the bounded operators on \(H\oplus K\) described by an upper triangular matrix \(M={A\; C}\binom{0}{B}\) with \(A \in B(H)\), \(B \in B(K)\) and \(C \in B(K,H)\), which are Weyl (Fredholm of index \(0\)) or generalized Weyl. \par For example, in Theorem 2.4 they show that given \(A \in B(H)\) and \(B \in B(K)\), for every non-compact operator \(C \in B(K,H)\) the matrix \(M\) is a Weyl operator if and only if \(A\) and \(B\) are Fredholm operators and \(n(A) + n(B) = d(A) + d(B)\), where \(n(A)\) is the dimension of the kernel of \(A\) and \(d(A)\) is the codimension of the range of \(A\). Theorems 3.7 and 3.9 are (technically more complicated) versions of Theorem 2.4 for generalized Weyl operators.
