Abstract: We discuss the solution theory of operators of the form $abl{a}_X+A$, acting on smooth sections of a vector bundle with connection $abla$ over a manifold $M$, where $X$ is a vector field having a critical point with positive linearization at some point $pinM$. As an operator on a suitable space of smooth sections $Gamm{a}^{i}nfty(U,V)$, it fulfills a Fredholm alternative, and the same is true for the adjoint operator. Furthermore, we show that the solutions depend smoothly on the data $abla$, $X$ and $A$.

Review text

On a finite dimensional manifold \(M\) one considers a smooth vector field \(X\) and a vector bundle for which a connection \(\nabla\) and an endomorphism field \(A\) are given. Under a special property of \(X\), the author proves a Fredholm alternative for the operator \(\nabla_X+A\). A result regarding the eigenvalues is also established.
