Abstract
We provide criteria for self-adjointness and -Fredholmness of first and second order differential operators acting on sections of infinite dimensional bundles, whose fibers are modules of finite type over a von Neumann algebra endowed with a trace . We extend the Callias-type index to operators acting on sections of such bundles and show that this index is stable under compact perturbations.
