Abstract

A class of zero order pseudodifferential operators on a closed manifold is considered, with symbols admitting a first kind discontinuity at a codimension one submanifold. A condition is found for such operators to be Fredholm. The formula for the index of such operators is derived, expressed in the topological terms.
