Abstract
We describe the spectra and essential spectra of Toeplitz operators with pi ecewise continuous symbols on the Hardy space H-p(Gamma,omega) in case 1 < p < infinity, Gamma is a Carleson Jordan curve and omega is a Muckenhoupt w eight in A(p)(Gamma). Classical results tell us that the essential spectrum of the operator is obtained from the essential range of the symbol by fill ing in line segments or circular arcs between the endpoints of the jumps if both the curve and the weight are sufficiently nice. Only recently it was discovered by Spitkovsky that these line segments or circular arcs metamorp hose into horns if the curve is nice and omega is an arbitrary Muckenhoupt weight, while the authors observed that certain special so-called logarithm ic leaves emerge in the case of arbitrary Carleson curves with nice weights . In this paper we show that for general Carleson curves and general Mucken houpt weights the sets in question are logarithmic leaves with a halo, and we present final results concerning the shape of the halo.
