Fredholm Operators in Spaces of Real Interpolation

Irina Asekritova, Linköping, Sweden
One of the important tasks of the interpolation theory is investigation of properties of linear operators in interpolation scales. In a recent joint work with N. Kruglyak and M. Mastylo, we studied the Fredholm property in the spaces of real interpolation \(\overline{X}_{\theta q}\). Let \(A\) be a bounded linear operator from a couple \(\overline{X}=(X_{0},X_{1})\) to a couple \(\overline{Y}=(Y_{0},Y_{1})\) such that the restrictions of \(A\) to the spaces \(X_{0}\) and \(X_{1}\) are Fredholm operators. We are interested in describing all parameters \(\theta \) and \(q\) such that the restriction of \(A\) to interpolation spaces \(\overline{X}_{\theta q}\) remains to be Fredholm. In the talk we will discuss a general approach to the problem and, in particular, give necessary and sufficient conditions for the operator \(A\colon \overline{X}_{\theta q}\rightarrow \overline{Y}_{\theta q}\) to be a Fredholm operator in the case when the operators \(A\colon X_{i}\rightarrow Y_{i}\) \((i=0,1)\) are invertible and \(1\leq q<\infty \). These conditions are expressed in terms of the corresponding indices generated by the \(K\)-functional of elements from the kernel of the operator \(A\) in the interpolation sum \(X_{0}+X_{1}\).
