On the Toeplitzness of the adjoint of composition operators

Building on techniques developed by Cowen (1988)  [3] and Nazarov–Shapiro (2007)  [10], it is shown that the adjoint of a composition operator, induced by a unit disk-automorphism, is not strongly asymptotically Toeplitz. This result answers Nazarov–Shapiro’s question in Nazarov and Shapiro (2007)  [10].
