Essential spectra of weighted composition operators induced by elliptic automorphisms

The spectrum of a weighted composition operator $$C_{\psi , \varphi }$$ that is induced by an automorphism has been investigated for over 50 years. However, many results are got only under the condition that the weight function $$\psi $$ is continuous up to the boundary. In this paper we study the spectra and essential spectra of $$C_{\psi ,\varphi }$$ on weighted Bergman spaces when $$\varphi $$ is an elliptic automorphism, without the assumption that $$\psi $$ is continuous up to the boundary.
