Spectrum of Weighted Composition Operators Part VI Essential spectra of $d$-endomorphisms of Banach $C(K)$-modules

Abstract

We investigate properties of essential spectra of disjointness preserving operators acting on Banach $C(K)$-modules. In particular, we prove that under some very mild conditions the upper semi-Fredholm spectrum of such an operator is rotation invariant. In the last part of the paper we provide a full description of the spectrum and the essential spectra of operators acting on Kaplansky modules of the form $T = wU$, where $w \in C(K)$, $U$ is a $d$-isomorphism, and the spectrum of $U$ is a subset of the unit circle.
