Our typical result shows that under some extra conditions, if the closed unit disc is complete $K'$-spectral for $\\phi(T)$ for every $\\phi\\in \\Phi$, then $\\overline\\Omega$ is complete $K$-spectral for $T$ for some constant $K$. In particular, we prove that under a geometric transversality condition, the intersection of finitely many $K'$-spectral sets for $T$ is again $K$-spectral for some $K\\ge K'$. These theorems generalize and complement results by Mascioni, Stessin, Stampfli, Badea-Beckerman-Crouzeix and others. We also extend to non-convex domains a result by Putinar and Sandberg on the existence of a skew dilation of $T$ to a normal operator with spectrum in $\\partial\\Omega$. As a key tool, we use the results from our previous paper on traces of analytic uniform algebras.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-28T15:39:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47A25", "30H50", "46J15", "47A12", "47A20" ], "keywords": [ "spectral sets", "geometric transversality condition", "analytic uniform algebras", "hilbert space operator", "extra conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
