RT Journal Article T1 Axiomatization of the degree of Fitzpatrick, Pejsachowicz and Rabier A1 López Gómez, Julián A1 Sampedro Pascual, Juan Carlos AB In this paper, we prove an analogue of the uniqueness theorems of Führer [15] and Amann and Weiss [1] to cover the degree of Fredholm operators of index zero constructed by Fitzpatrick, Pejsachowicz and Rabier [13], whose range of applicability is substantially wider than for the most classical degrees of Brouwer [5] and Leray–Schauder [22]. A crucial step towards the axiomatization of this degree is provided by the generalized algebraic multiplicity of Esquinas and López-Gómez [8, 9, 25], χ, and the axiomatization theorem of Mora-Corral [28, 32]. The latest result facilitates the axiomatization of the parity of Fitzpatrick and Pejsachowicz [12], σ(⋅,[a,b]), which provides the key step for establishing the uniqueness of the degree for Fredholm maps.
