Abstract

Harold Widom proved in 1966 that the spectrum of a Toeplitz operator T(a) acting on the Hardy space Hp(T) over the unit circle T is a connected subset of the complex plane for every bounded measurable symbol a and 1 < p < ∞. In 1972, Ronald Douglas established the connectedness of the essential spectrum of T(a) on H2(T). We show that, as was suspected, these results remain valid in the setting of Hardy spaces Hp(G,&ohgr;),1<p<∞, with general Muckenhoupt weights &ohgr; over arbitrary Carleson curves G.
