Pseudo-B-Fredholm operators, poles of the resolvent and mean convergence in the Calkin Algebra

Abstract

We define here a pseudo B-Fredholm operator as an operator such that 0 is isolated in its essential spectrum, then we prove that an operator $T$ is pseudo- B-Fredholm if and only if $T=R+F$ where $R$ is a Riesz operator and $F$ is a B-Fredholm operator such that the commutator $[R,F]$ is compact. Moreover, we prove that 0 is a pole of the resolvent of an operator $T$ in the Calkin algebra if and only if $T=K+F$, where $K$ is a power compact operator and $F$ is a B-Fredholm operator, such that the commutator $[K,F]$ is compact. As an application, we characterize the mean convergence in the Calkin algebra.
