Spectral set, complete spectral set and dilation for Banach space operators
Abstract
Famous results due to von Neumann, Sz.-Nagy and Arveson assert that the following four statements are equivalent; a Hilbert space operator is a contraction; the closed unit disk is a spectral set for ; can be dilated to a Hilbert space isometry; is a complete spectral set for . In this article, we show by counter examples that no two of them are equivalent for Banach space operators. If is the family of all Banach space operators having norm less than or equal to and if denotes the open disk in the complex plane with centre at the origin and radius , then we prove by an application of Bohr's theorem that is the minimal spectral set for if and only if . Also, we prove the equivalence of the following two facts: the Bohr radius of is and . We found several new characterizations for a Hilbert space in terms of spectral set and complete spectral set for different operators.
