CLARK INTRODUCTION Let T be the unit circle in the complex plane c. For a bounded measurable function p on T define the Toeplitz operator Tv on H2 of the unit disk by v p p where p is the projection of L2 on H2. If p is continuous the Fredholm theory of 7 is well known 6 Chapter 7 . Indeed pe Tj the Fredholm resolvent set is the complement of the curve p T and the index of Ty ư for 2 ị p T is a p 2 the negative of the winding number of the curve p T about 2. In addition the index o p 2 is equal to the dimension of the kernel ker 7 2Z if co p 2 0 and m p 2 dim kerCT 2z if U J9 2 0. The present paper is a report on an investigation of the dimension of ker T 2Z when f is continuous and 2 lies on the curve p T so that Tv 2Z is not a Fredholm operator. Some previous work on the eigenspaces of non-Fredholm Toeplitz operators may be found in 10 5 3 8 . Our work differs from that of these otherauthors in that we seek a description of eigendimension in terms of the geometrical properties of the curve p T modeled as closely as possible on the winding number characterization of dimker L 2Z for 2 ị p T . A test question for a geo-metricaltheory of eigendimension is the problem of whether dim ker 7 2Z 0 can hold for 2 e dff Tp the boundary of the spectrum of Tv 2 9 . For our formula we assume p e has the form 1 p e 9 JJ e-i e ie a z ei j-1 where otj 0 j 1 . n and h is continuous and nonvanishing on T. In Part 1 we prove that y z 0 which determines dim ker Tv is characterized as follows to 152 p. R. AHERN and D. N. CLARK be made precise in Section .
