On the essential norms of Toeplitz operators on abstract Hardy spaces built upon Banach function spaces

Let X be a Banach function space over the unit circle such that the Riesz projection P is bounded on X and let H[X] be the abstract Hardy space built upon X. We show that the essential norm of the Toeplitz operator T(a):H[X]-> H[X]\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$T(a):H[X]\rightarrow H[X]$$\end{document} coincides with & Vert;a & Vert;L infinity\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Vert a\Vert _{L<^>\infty }$$\end{document} for every a is an element of C+H infinity\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$a\in C+H<^>\infty $$\end{document} if and only if the essential norm of the backward shift operator T(e-1):H[X]-> H[X]\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$T(\textbf{e}_{-1}):H[X]\rightarrow H[X]$$\end{document} is equal to one, where e-1(z)=z-1\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\textbf{e}_{-1}(z)=z<^>{-1}$$\end{document}. This result extends an observation by B & ouml;ttcher, Krupnik, and Silbermann for the case of classical Hardy spaces.
