On new approach to semi-Fredholm theory in unital C^*-algebras

Abstract

Axiomatic Fredholm theory in unital C*-algebras was established in [D. Kečkić, Z. Lazović, Acta Sci. Math., 83(3-4):629--655, 2017]. Following the pure algebraic approach by Kečkić and Lazović, in the author's paper [S. Ivković, Banach J. Math. Anal., 17:51, 2023] we extended further this theory to axiomatic semi-Fredholm and semi-Weyl theory in unital C*-algebras. However, recently, in [S. Ivković, arXiv:2306.01133] we developed another approach to axiomatic Fredholm theory in unital C*-algebras which is based on the theory of Hilbert modules and is equivalent to the algebraic approach by Kečkić and Lazović. In this paper, we extend further that new Hilbert-module approach from Fredholm theory to semi-Fredholm and semi-Weyl theory in unital C*-algebras. Hence, we provide new proofs to the results in [S. Ivković, Banach J. Math. Anal., 17:51, 2023].
