Almost invertible operators
We prove that a bounded linear operator $T$ is a direct sum of an invertible operator and an operator with at most countable spectrum iff $0\notin\mbox{acc}^{ω_{1}}\,σ(T),$ where $ω_{1}$ is the smallest uncountable ordinal and $\mbox{acc}^{ω_{1}}\,σ(T)$ is the $ω_{1}$-th Cantor-Bendixson derivative of $σ(T).$
