Spectra of Toeplitz operators and compositions of Muckenhoupt weights with Blaschke products (Q930475)

The authors study the essential spectra of Toeplitz operators \(T_a\) with bounded measurable symbol \(a\in L^\infty(\mathbb T)\) on the Hardy spaces \(H^p(\mathbb T)\), \(1<p<\infty\) [see also \textit{E.\,Shargorodsky}, Integral Equations Oper.\ Theory 57, 127--132 (2007; Zbl 1122.47026)]. They construct Blaschke products \(B\) such that \(T_a: H^p(\mathbb T)\to H^p(\mathbb T)\) is invertible if and only if \(T_{a\circ B}\) is invertible. Here, the function \(B\) has the property that \(\rho\circ B\in A_p\) whenever \(\rho\in A^p\), where \(A_p\) is the class of weights satisfying the Muckenhoupt condition. Note that in [\textit{A.\,Böttcher} and \textit{S.\,Grudsky}, J.~Lond.\ Math.\ Soc., II.\ Ser.\ 58, No.\,1, 172--184 (1998; Zbl 0935.47026)] it was shown that for \(p\in ]1,\infty[\setminus\{2\}\), there always exist a Blaschke product \(B\) and \(\rho\in A_p\) such that \(\rho\circ B\notin A_p\).
