On generalized semi B-Fredholm operators (Q6159151)

Let \(X\) be an infinite dimensional complex Banach space and \(L(X)\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on \(X\). For \(T\in L(X)\) , denote by \(N(T)\) and \( R(T)\) the null space of \(T\) and the range of \(T\), respectively. \(T\) is said to be quasi-Fredholm if there exists a positive integer \(d\) such that \( R(T^{d+1})\) is closed and \(N(T)\cap R(T^n)=N(T)\cap R(T^{n+1})\) for all \(n\geq d\). \(T\) is said to be semi-regular if \(R(T)\) is closed and \(N(T)\subset R(T^n)\) for every \(n\). An operator \(A\) is called lower semi Saphar if \(A\) is semi-regular and \(R(A)\) is complemented. \(T\) is said to be generalized lower semi B-Fredholm if \(T\) is quasi-Fredholm and \(N(T^d)+R(T)\) is complemented. In the paper under review, it is proved that an operator \(T\in L(X)\) is generalized lower semi B-Fredholm if and only if there exist two \(T\)-invariant subspaces \(M\) and \(N\) such that, \(M\) is closed, \(X = M \oplus N\) , \(T|_M\) is lower semi Saphar and \(T|_N\) is nilpotent. Symmetrically, a characterization of generalized upper semi B-Fredholm operators is obtained.
