This is the first part of the second volume of a monograph, devoted by the authors to the study of non-local pseudo-differential operators. The first volume was devoted to prepare tools from the theory of \(C^*\) algebras and dynamical systems [ same series Vol. 70, Longman, Harlow (1994; Zbl 0799.34001)]. Here attention is fixed on linear operators of the form \[ P=\sum p_j(x,D)U_j \] where \(p_j(x,D)\) are differential or pseudo-differential operators in \(X\), a domain of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) or a manifold, and \(U_j\) are transformation operators of the form \((U_jf)(x)= f(g_j(x))\) where \(g_j:X\to X\) are given mappings. The prototypes for the operators of this form are one-dimensional Cauchy-kernel singular integral operators with a shift, as first defined by Carleman in 1932. A long series of papers were then devoted to this case by authors from the Russian school, in particular by the authors of the present monograph. Some recent results concerning the general pseudo-differential case give motivation to the present book: the strategy is to define a suitable class of symbols, using \(C^*\)-algebraic results, to obtain a characterization of the Fredholm operators and compute the related index. The difficulty of the problem depends on the generality of the transformations \(U_j\); several examples are discussed, with explicit results in relevant applications. For the review of Vol. II, Part 2, see Zbl 0936.35212 below.
