Meromorphic factorization revisited and application to a group of matrices

It is shown that the 2 ×2 symbols in a class of exponentials of nilpotent matrices can be reduced, by splitting some rational factors, to a very simple normal form. A meromorphic factorization [1] of these symbols is thus naturally defined and by approaching the problem of transforming it into a generalized factorization from a point of view different from that of [1], we study the invertibility and the Fredholm properties of the Toeplitz operators with symbols in that class. These results simplify and generalize those obtained in [2]. This is a joint work with Cristina Câmara, IST, Lisboa.
