The purpose of this paper is to show how Fred hoi m criteria for Toeplitz operators, whose symbols lie in an algebra,A, may often be generalized to cover a larger symbol algebra generated by A and SO, the slowly oscillating functions. Mere A and SO are algebras of continuous functions on the real line, so that we are concerned principally with the effect of a single discontinuity in the symbol function.

We shall treat the cases when A is the almost periodic functions, the semi-almost periodic functions and the multiplicatively periodic functions. Sufficient criteria for Fredholmness are obtained in Section 5. The more difficult task of establishing necessary and sufficient criteria is only achieved here for the slowly oscillating almost periodic functions and this is done in Section 6.
