Each $W_q(T)$ is a closed convex set that contains the spectrum of $T$. Furthermore, $W_q(T)$ is decreasing with respect to $q$ and $W_1(T)$ is the numerical range. It is also shown that $W_q(T)$ is contained in the closed unit disc if and only if $T$ has a $2/(2-q)$ unitary dilation in the sense of N\\'agy-Foias. Spectral constants of $W_q(T)$ are investigated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-07-14T14:36:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "von neumann inequality", "crouzeix conjecture", "bounded linear operator", "spectral constants", "closed convex set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
