Abstract

The pseudodifferential operators with symbols in the Grushin classes \~Sinf0supρ,δ, 0 ≤ δ < ρ ≤ 1, of slowly varying symbols are shown to form spectrally invariant unital Frécher-*-algebras (Ψ*-algebras) in L(L2(Rn)) and in L(Hγst) for weighted Sobolev spaces Hinfγsup stdefined via a weight d function γ. In all cases, the Fredholm property of an operator can be characterized by uniform ellipticity of the symbol. This gives a converse to theorems of Grushin and Kumano-Ta-Taniguchi. Both, the spectrum and the Fredholm spectrum of an operator turn out to be independent of the choices of s, t and γ. The characterization of the Fredholm property by uniform ellipticity leads to an index theorem for the Fredholm operators in these classes, extending results of Fedosov and Hörmander.
