Fredholm operators on non-Banach spaces.
$begingroup$
Apparently Fredholm operators are usually (at least in Wikipedia and my functional analysis lecture) only defined as operators $T$ between to Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$.
As far as I can see, the definition can be extended to operators between arbitrary normed spaces without any problems, although then the condition that $operatorname{im} T$ is closed is no longer independent of $ker T < infty$ and $operatorname{coker} T < infty$.
Is there some reason why this is not usually done? Are Fredholm operators between non-Banach spaces so much less interesting/useful than those between Banach spaces? If yes, why?
