The index of singular integral operators in reflexive Orlicz spaces

We consider the Banach algebra of singular integral operators with matrix piecewise continuous coefficients in the reflexive Orlicz spaceL _M ⁿ (Γ). We assume that Γ belongs to a certain wide subclass of the class of Carleson curves; this subclass includes curves with cusps, as well as curves of the logarithmic spiral type. We obtain an index formula for an arbitrary operator from the algebra in terms of the symbol of this operator. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 64, No. 3, pp. 383–396, September, 1998.
