Summary: The purpose of this paper is to systematically study compactness and essential norm properties of operators on a very general class of weighted Fock spaces over $\C$. In particular, we obtain rather strong necessary and sufficient conditions for a wide class of operators (which includes operators in the Toeplitz algebra generated by bounded symbols) to be compact and we obtain related estimates on the essential norm of such operators. Finally, we discuss interesting open problems related to our results.
