Abstract

The present paper is concerned with the study of a new class of linear operators on a Hilbert space: the class of quasi-Fredholm operators, which contains many operators already studied in the litterature (in particular semi-Fredholm operators). An operatorA is said to be quasi-Fredholm of degreed, if the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. a)

    For alln greater thand, R(A n )∩N(A)=R(A d )∩N(A);

  2. b)

    N(A)∩R(A d) is closed inH;

  3. c)

    R(A)+N(A d) is closed inH.

Two characterisations of quasi-Fredholm operators are given:

  1. 1)

    A is quasi-Fredholm iff there exists a direct decomposition ofH into the sum of two subspacesH 1 andH 2 which are invariant underA and such that the restriction ofA toH 1 is quasi-Fredholm of degree 0 and the restriction ofA toH 2 is nilpotent (Kato decomposition).

  2. 2)

    A is quasi-Fredholm iff there exists a neighborhoodD of 0 in C such that for all λ≠0 in that neighborhoodA−λI has a generalized inverse which is meromorphic inD−{0} (The generalized inverse is holomorphic inD iffA is of degree 0).

The bulk of the paper is devoted to the proofs of these characterizations and of related results, making use of the theory of operators ranges and of generalized inverses. Most of the results extend easily to the Banach case.

The rest of the paper deals with the class of quasi-normal operators, which is closely related to the class of spectral operators. Some applications of the first part of the paper are given in this context.
