Functors and Categories of Banach Spacesby Peter W. Michor - Springer
The aim of this book is to develop the theory of Banach operator ideals and metric tensor products along categorical lines: these two classes of mathematical objects are endofunctors on the category Ban of all Banach spaces in a natural way.

Fredholm Operators and Spectral Flowby Nils Waterstraat - arXiv
Fredholm operators are one of the most important classes of linear operators in mathematics. The aim of these notes is an essentially self-contained introduction to the spectral flow for paths of (generally unbounded) selfadjoint Fredholm operators.
