Jul 24, 2015 at 18:53 comment added Ali Taghavi @BillJohnson Does this 1-1 argument works if we replace the interval by a compact manifold M? If yes, we would obtain an alternative proof for the fact that the spase of homeomorphisms of a compact manifold is an open set(As it is proved in Hircsh Diff. topology). This would be a consequence of openness of fredholm operatores. So is it obvious that for a non 1-1 map f on M there are infinite pairs (a,b) with f(a)=f(b)?
Jul 23, 2015 at 18:58 comment added Bill Johnson The only way for $T_f$ to be Fredholm when $X=[0,1]$ is for it to be a surjective homeomorphism. If $f$ is not surjective, then $T_f(\phi)=0$ when every $\phi$ is supported off of the interval $f[0,1]$. If $f$ is not $1-1$, then there are infinitely many pairs $(a,b)$ of distinct points s.t. $f(a)=f(b)$, which implies that $T_f$ cannot have finite codimensional range.
Jul 23, 2015 at 15:38 comment added Ali Taghavi @BillJohnson Prof. Johnson Thank you for your very interesting comment. My second question is about X=interval.
Jul 23, 2015 at 15:04 comment added Bill Johnson It is easy to check that $T_f$ is compact iff it has finite rank iff $f[X}$ is a finite set. For the not completely obvious implication, compose $T_f$ with the restriction mapping $R$ from $C(X)$ to $C(f[X])$. The composition $RT_f$ is a quotient map by Tietze, and $C(f[X])$ is infinite dimensional if $f[X}$ is infinite. In particular, if $X$ is connected then $T_f$ is not compact unless $f$ is constant. As for your second question, let $X$ be the range of a sequence of distinct points together with its limit and let $f$ act as a shift.
