Abstract:
Harold Widom proved in 1966 that the spectrum of a Toeplitz operator \(T(a)\) acting on the Hardy space \(H^p(\mathbb{T})\) over the unit circle \(\mathbb{T}\) is a connected subset of the complex plane for every bounded measurable symbol \(a\) and \(1 < p < \infty\). In 1972, Ronald Douglas established the connectedness of the essential spectrum of \(T(a)\) on \(H^2(\mathbb{T})\). We show that, as was suspected, these results remain valid in the setting of Hardy spaces \(H^p(\Gamma,w)\), \( 1 < p < \infty \), with general Muckenhoupt weights \(w\) over arbitrary Carleson curves \(\Gamma\).
