Abstract

Let \({\cal X}\) be an infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space, and \({\cal B}({\cal X})\) the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on \({\cal X}\). In this paper, given any non-negative integer n, we characterize the surjective additive maps on \({\cal B}({\cal X})\) preserving Fredholm operators with fixed nullity or defect equal to n in both directions, and describe completely the structure of these maps.
