Abstract: The aim of this note is to generalize the notion of Fredholm operator to an arbitrary C*-algebra. Namely, we define "finite type" elements in an axiomatic way, and also we define Fredholm type element a as such element of a given C*-algebra for which there are finite type elements p and q such that (1q)a(1p) is "invertible". We derive index theorem for such operators. In applications we show that classical Fredholm operators on a Hilbert space, Fredholm operators in the sense of Breuer, Atiyah and Singer on a properly infinite von Neumann algebra, and Fredholm operators on Hilbert C*-modules over an unital C*-algebra in the sense of Mishchenko and Fomenko are special cases of our theory.
