Summary: Let $\Gamma$ be a finite abelian group acting on a smooth, compact manifold $M$ without boundary and let $P \in \psi^m(M; E_0, E_1)$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant, classical, pseudodifferential operator acting between sections of two $\Gamma$-equivariant vector bundles. Let $\alpha$ be an irreducible representation of $\Gamma$. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the restriction $\pi_\alpha(P) : H^s(M; E_0)_\alpha \to H^{s-m}(M; E_1)_\alpha$ of $P$ between the $\alpha$-isotypical components of Sobolev spaces to be Fredholm.
