Abstract: We prove a new criterion of weak hypercyclicity of a bounded linear operator on a Banach space. Applying this criterion, we solve few open questions. Namely, we show that if $G$ is a region of $C$ bounded by a smooth Jordan curve $Gamma$ such that $G$ does not meet the unit ball but $Gamma$ intersects the unit circle in a non-trivial arc, then $M^{\ast }$ is a weakly hypercyclic operator on $H^2(G)$, where $M$ is the multiplication by the argument operator $Mf(z)=zf(z)$. We also prove that if $g$ is a non-constant function from the Hardy space $H^{i}nfty(D)$ on the unit disk $D$ such that $g(D)capD=varnothing$ and the set $zinC:|z|=1,|g(z)|=1$ is a subset of the unit circle $T$ of positive Lebesgue measure, then the coanalytic Toeplitz operator $T_g^{\ast }$ on the Hardy space $H^2(D)$ is weakly hypercyclic. On the contrary, if $g(D)capD=varnothing$, $|g|>1$ almost everywhere on $T$ and $log(|g|-1)in{L}^1(T)$, then $T_g^{\ast }$ is not 1-weakly hypercyclic and hence is not weakly hypercyclic (a bounded linear operator $T$ on a complex Banach space $X$ is called $n$-weakly hypercyclic if there is $xinX$ such that for every surjective continuous linear operator $S:Xo{C}^n$, the set $S(T^{m}x):minN$ is dense in $C^n$). The last result is based upon lower estimates of the norms of the members of orbits of a coanalytic Toeplitz operator. Finally, we show that there is a 1-weakly hypercyclic operator on a Hilbert space, whose square is non-cyclic and prove that a Banach space operator is weakly hypercyclic if and only if it is $n$-weakly hypercyclic for every $ninN$.
