Generalized Cesaro operators and the Bergman space

Summary:  We investigate spectral properties of operators on $L_a^2$ of the form $$ {\cal C}_g(f)(z) = \frac{1}{z} \int\limits_0^z f(t) g(t) {\rm d}t.$$ We compute the spectrum when $g$ is a rational function, as well as the essential spectrum and the Fredholm index. We also provide relations for these operators in the Calkin algebra.
