Abstract: We develop elliptic theory of operators associated with a diffeomorphism of a closed smooth manifold. The aim of the present paper is to obtain an index formula for such operators in terms of topological invariants of the manifold and of the symbol of the operator. The symbol in this situation is an element of a certain crossed product. We express the index as the pairing of the class in K-theory defined by the symbol and the Todd class in periodic cyclic cohomology of the crossed product.


The authors deal with operators that are obtained by iterates of a given diffeomorphism of a closed manifold \(M\) composed with pseudo-differential operators on \(M\) and finite sums of these. The algebra of symbols of those operators is noncommutative. An elliptic theory for such operators is developped. In particular, a notion of being elliptic is defined which implies Fredholmness and regularity properties of kernel and cokernel. An index formula in terms of topological invariants and the symbol of the operator is presented.
