Abstract

We prove that if nn closed disks D1,D2,...,DnD_1, D_2, ..., D_n, of the Riemann sphere are spectral sets for a bounded linear operator AA on a Hilbert space, then their intersection D1D2...DnD_1\cap D_2...\cap D_n is a complete KK-spectral set for AA, with Kn+n(n1)/3K\leq n+n(n-1)/\sqrt3. When n=2n=2 and the intersection X1X2X_1\cap X_2 is an annulus, this result gives a positive answer to a question of A.L. Shields (1974).
