Assume that $M$ is a compact parallelizable manifold. Is there an upper bound for the absolute value of Fredholm index of all operators in the form $D=\sum_{i=1}^n \partial^2/\partial{X_i^2}$ where $\{X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n\}$ is a global smooth frame?

$\begingroup$ @ThomasRot Yes we assume that $M$ is connected. But even if $M$ is not connected it can not have infinite number of connected component. $\endgroup$– Ali TaghaviCommented Jun 21, 2019 at 5:14
