1. Introduction and Preliminary

Throughout this paper, denotes an infinite-dimensional complex Banach space, the algebra of all bounded linear operators on . For an operator we shall denote by the dimension of the kernel , and by the codimension of the range . Let be the class of all upper semi-Fredholm operators, and let be the class of all lower semi-Fredholm operators. The class of all semi-Fredholm operators is defined by , while the class of all Fredholm operators is defined by . If , the index of is defined by Recall that a bounded operator is said bounded below if it injective and has closed range. Evidently, if is bounded below then and . Define The set of Weyl operators is defined by The classes of operators defined above generate the following spectra. Denote by the approximate point spectrum, and by the surjectivity spectrum of . The Weyl spectrum is defined by the Weyl essential approximate point spectrum is defined by while the Weyl essential surjectivity spectrum is defined by Obviously, and from basic Fredholm theory we have Note that is the intersection of all approximate point spectra of compact perturbations of , while is the intersection of all surjectivity spectra of compact perturbations of , see, for instance, [1, Theorem 3.65].

Recall that the ascent, , of an operator is the smallest non-negative integer such that . If such integer does not exist we put . Analogously, the descent, , of an operator is the smallest non-negative integer such that , and if such integer does not exist we put . It is well known that if and are both finite then [2, Proposition 1.49]. Moreover, precisely when is a pole of the resolvent of , see Dowson [2, Theorem 1.54].

The class of all upper semi-Browder operators is defined by while the class of all lower semi-Browder operators is defined by The class of all Browder operators is defined by We have see [1, Theorem 3.4]. The Browder spectrum of is defined by the upper Browder spectrum is defined by and analogously the lower Browder spectrum is defined by Clearly, and .

For and a nonnegative integer define to be the restriction of to viewed as a map from into (in particular, ). If for some integer the range space is closed and is an upper (a lower) semi-Fredholm operator, then is called an upper (a lower) semi--Fredholm operator. In this case the index of is defined as the index of the semi-Fredholm operator , see [3]. Moreover, if is a Fredholm operator, then is called a  -Fredholm operator. A semi--Fredholm operator is an upper or a lower semi--Fredholm operator. An operator is said to be a  -Weyl operator if it is a  -Fredholm operator of index zero. The  -Weyl spectrum of is defined by .

An operator is called Drazin invertible if it has a finite ascent and descent. The Drazin spectrum of an operator is defined by . Define also the set by and . Following [4], an operator is said to be left Drazin invertible if . We say that is a left pole of if , and that is a left pole of of finite rank if is a left pole of and . Let denotes the set of all left poles of and let denotes the set of all left poles of of finite rank. From Theorem 2.8 of [4] it follows that if is left Drazin invertible, then is an upper semi--Fredholm operator of index less than or equal to 0.

Let be the set of all poles of the resolvent of and let be the set of all poles of the resolvent of of finite rank, that is . According to [5], a complex number is a pole of the resolvent of if and only if . Moreover, if this is true then .

According also to [5], the space is closed for each . Hence we have always and . We say that Browders theorem holds for if , and that  -Browders theorem holds for if . Following [6], we say that generalized Weyls theorem holds for if , where is the set of all isolated eigenvalues of , and that generalized Browders theorem holds for if . It is proved in Theorem 2.1 of [7] that generalized Browder’s theorem is equivalent to Browder’s theorem. In [4, Theorem 3.9], it is shown that an operator satisfying generalized Weyl’s theorem satisfies also Weyl’s theorem, but the converse does not hold in general. Nonetheless and under the assumption , it is proved in Theorem 2.9 of   [8] that generalized Weyl’s theorem is equivalent to Weyl’s theorem.

Let be the class of all upper semi--Fredholm operators, . The upper  -Weyl spectrum of is defined by . We say that generalized  -Weyls theorem holds for if , where is the set of all eigenvalues of which are isolated in and that obeys generalized  -Browders theorem if . It is proved in [7, Theorem 2.2] that generalized  -Browder’s theorem is equivalent to  -Browder’s theorem, and it is known from [4, Theorem 3.11] that an operator satisfying generalized  -Weyl’s theorem satisfies  -Weyl’s theorem, but the converse does not hold in general and under the assumption it is proved in [8, Theorem 2.10] that generalized  -Weyl’s theorem is equivalent to  -Weyl’s theorem.

Following [9], we say that possesses property if . The property has been studied in [1]. In Theorem 2.8 of [10], it is shown that property implies Weyl’s theorem, but the converse is not true in general. We say that possesses property if . Property has been introduced and studied in [11, 12]. Property extends property to the context of  -Fredholm theory, and it is proved in [11] that an operator possessing property possesses property but the converse is not true in general. According to [13], an operator is said to possess property if , and is said to possess property if . It is shown in Theorem 2.3 of [13] that an operator possessing property possesses property but the converse is not true in general, see also [14]. Following [15], we say an operator is said to be satisfies property if . In Theorem 2.4 of [15], it is shown that satisfies property if and only if satisfies -Browder’s theorem and satisfies property .

The single valued extension property plays an important role in local spectral theory, see the recent monograph of Laursen and Neumann [16] and Aiena [1]. In this article we shall consider the following local version of this property, which has been studied in recent papers, [10, 17] and previously by Finch [18].

Let be the space of all functions that analytic in an open neighborhoods of . Following [18] we say that has the single-valued extension property (SVEP) at point if for every open neighborhood of , the only analytic function which satisfies the equation is the constant function . It is well-known that has SVEP at every point of the resolvent . Moreover, from the identity Theorem for analytic function it easily follows that has SVEP at every point of the boundary of the spectrum. In particular, has SVEP at every isolated point of . In [17, Proposition 1.8], Laursen proved that if is of finite ascent, then has SVEP.

By duality we have.

Theorem 2. If the following statements are equivalent: (i) has SVEP at ; (ii); (iii) does not cluster at .

In this paper we shall consider properties which are related to Weyl type theorem for bounded linear operators , defined on a complex Banach space . These properties, that we call property , means that the set of all poles of the resolvent of of finite rank in the usual spectrum are exactly those points of the spectrum for which is an upper semi-Fredholm with index less than or equal to 0 (see Definition 3) and we call property , means that the set of all poles of the resolvent of in the usual spectrum are exactly those points of the spectrum for which is an upper semi--Fredholm with index less than or equal to 0 (see Definition 3). Properties and are related to a strong variants of classical Weyl’s theorem, the so-called property and property introduced by Berkani and Zariouh [13] and more extensively studied in recent papers [12, 14, 20, 21]. We shall characterize properties and in several ways and we shall also describe the relationships of it with the other variants of Weyl type theorems. Our main tool is localized version of the single valued extension property. Also, we consider the properties and in the frame of polaroid type operators.

3. Properties () and () for Polaroid Type Operators

In this section we consider classes of operators for which the isolated points of the spectrum are poles of the resolvent.

An operator is said to be polaroid if isolated point of is a pole of the resolvent of . is said to be -polaroid if every isolated of is a pole of the resolvent of .

It is easily seen that if is -polaroid, then is polaroid, while in general the converse is not true. It is well known that is a pole of the resolvent of if and only if is a pole of the resolvent of . Since we then have

From the proof of Theorem 10 we know that if has SVEP, then . Therefore, if has SVEP then If has SVEP, we know that . Therefore, if   has SVEP, then

Theorem 18. Suppose that is -polaroid. Then the following assertions hold. (i) satisfies property if and only if  satisfies property .(ii) satisfies property if and only if   satisfies property .

Since the other inclusion is always verified, we have . Therefore, it follows from Theorem 17 that satisfies property if and only if satisfies property .
(ii) Note first that if   is -polaroid then . In fact, if then is isolated in and hence . Therefore, . This shows . Since we have always , and so . Therefore, it follows from Theorem 16 that satisfies property if and only if satisfies property .

Theorem 19. Suppose that is polaroid. (i)If   has SVEP, then property holds for if and only if   satisfies property .(ii)If   has SVEP, then property holds for if and only if   satisfies property .
