Abstract

Let X and Y be (not necessarily compact) metric spaces. We provide a complete description of Fredholm weighted composition operators between Lipschitz algebras \(\textrm{Lip}_\alpha (X)\) and \(\textrm{Lip}_\alpha (Y)\) for \(0<\alpha \le 1\). All results and some more hold when such operators are between little Lipschitz algebras \(\textrm{lip}_\alpha (X)\) and \(\textrm{lip}_\alpha (Y)\) with \(0<\alpha <1\). As an application, we characterize Fredholm multiplication operators on little Lipschitz algebras and show that the Fredholm index of such operators is zero.
