I have edited a bit at Fredholm operator. Also started a stubby Fredholm module in the process. But it remains very much unfinished. Have to interrupt now for a bit.

While still short, Fredholm operator is a very good entry!!! (well, I did a part in it, but the improvements are both essential and good and wellcome!)

a couple of recent reference items to add to Fredholm operator once the edit functionality is back:

• Nikolai V. Ivanov, Topological categories related to Fredholm operators: I. Classifying spaces (arXiv:2111.14313)

• Nikolai V. Ivanov, Topological categories related to Fredholm operators: II. The analytic index (arXiv:2111.15081)

The entry Fredholm operator is missing any reference for Atkinson’s theorem (i.e. that the definition of Fredholm operators via finite dim ker and coker is equivalent to invertibility up to compact and/or finite-rank operators). This here just to record some.

The original article is:

• F. V. Atkinson, The normal solubility of linear equations in normed spaces, Mat. Sb. (N.S.), 28(70):1 (1951), 3–14 (mathnet:msb5589)

Early streamlined proof is in:

• Michael Atiyah, Prop. A8 (p. 163) in: K-theory, Harvard Lecture 1964 (notes by D. W. Anderson), Benjamin 1967 (pdf)

• Gerard J. Murphy, Theorem 2.1 in: Fredholm Index Theory and the Trace, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy. Section A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences 94A 2 (1994), 161-166 (jstor:20489482 )

• A. G. Ramm, A simple proof of the Fredholm alternative and a characterization of the Fredholm operators (arXiv:math/0011133)

Monographs/texbook accounts include:

• Bernhelm Booß, p. 35-36 in: Topologie und Analysis, Springer (1977) (doi:10.1007/978-3-642-66752-7)
