Fredholm invertibility on modules with property (Pr) #
The Fredholm series of a row-compact endomorphism of a module with property (Pr) detects
invertibility: 1 - a u is a unit exactly when H_u(a) is a unit. This transports the
model-space criterion along an arbitrary continuous linear retract, without assuming a finite
free complement. The rectangular Jacobson identity compares 1 - a u with 1 - a i u r.
Over a complete ultrametric field, the nonzero spectrum is therefore the set of inverses of Fredholm zeros. Over coefficient rings, the criterion is about units, not vanishing; it applies also to nonreduced rings and finite projective modules of nonconstant rank. No assertion about the spectral value zero is made.

For a row-compact endomorphism of a module with property (Pr), 1 - a u is invertible
exactly when its Fredholm series evaluated at a is a unit.
For a unit a in the coefficient ring, a⁻¹ is in the spectrum of a row-compact
endomorphism of a (Pr) module exactly when H_u(a) is not a unit.
The nonzero spectrum of a row-compact endomorphism of a (Pr) module over a complete ultrametric field is detected by the zeros of its Fredholm series.
Fredholm zeros on a (Pr) module are exactly the inverses of its nonzero spectral values. In particular zero is never a Fredholm zero.
