For \(0< R < 1\) , let A be the annulus \(\{z \in \mathbb {C}:R< |z|<1\}\) and \(\partial A\) be the boundary of A. Here, we consider the operator of multiplication by \(\varphi \) , denoted by \(M_{\varphi }\) , on the space \(L^2(\partial A)\) . We give a complete matricial description of \(M_{\varphi }\) and show that it is the sum of two \(2\times 2\) operator matrices and the components of each of these matrices is a doubly infinite weighted Toeplitz matrix. We define the slant Toeplitz operator \(U_{\varphi }\) on \(L^2(\partial A)\) and compression of slant Toeplitz operator \(V_{\varphi }\) on \(H^2(\partial A)\) . We show that if \(\varphi \) is a trigonometric polynomial on \(\partial A\) , then \(U_{\varphi }\) and \(V_{\varphi }\) cannot be hyponormal unless \(\varphi \equiv 0\) .
