SPITKOVSKY Received 23 July 2001 and in revised form 19 February 2002 This paper is concerned with the influence of frequency modulation on the semi- Fredholm properties of Toeplitz operators with oscillating matrix symbols. The main results give conditions on an orientation-preserving homeomorphism α of the real line that ensure the following: if b belongs to a certain class of oscillat- ing matrix functions (periodic, almost periodic, or semi-almost periodic matrix functions) and the Toeplitz operator generated by the matrix function b(x) is semi-Fredholm, then the Toeplitz operator with the matrix symbol b(α(x)) is also semi-Fredholm. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47B35, 42A75, 46J15, 47A53, 47A68, 47B33. 1. Introduction. Let H 2 (R) be the usual Hardy space of the real line, that is, the Hilbert space of all functions in L2 (R) that can be represented in the form f (x) = ∞ g(t)eitx dt, x ∈ R, (1.1) 0 with g ∈ L2 (0, ∞), and let P be the orthogonal projection of L2 (R) onto H 2 (R). For a function a ∈ L∞ (R), the Toeplitz operator T (a) is the bounded linear operator on H 2 (R) that acts by the rule f P(af ). The function a is in this context referred to as the symbol of the operator T (a). The algebra AP (R) of almost periodic functions is defined as the smallest closed subalgebra of L∞ (R) that contains the set {eλ : λ ∈ R}, where eλ (x) = eiλx . We denote by PT (R) the set of all T -periodic functions in AP (R) and by C(R) the set of all continuous functions f
