I would like to customize the weak-star limit as a math operator. It should look like w$^*$-lim. I don't want to use w*-lim or w^*-lim because it looks ugly. But when I write



DeclareMathOperator*wslimw$^*$-lim


I get an error because dollars cannot be used in mathrm mode. How can I make this happen?

* obtains a special mathcode inside the AMS math operator setup, but here you want the standard star which is still available as ast :

Note the reason for the redefinition is to make it possible to just use w* which is the intended markup here although as you note it does not produce the same symbol (or use the same font) as a normal math ^*.
