The numerical range as a spectral set

Functional Analysis 2017-02-03 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the numerical range of a linear operator operator in a Hilbert space is a (complete) (1+2)(1{+}\sqrt2)-spectral set. The proof relies, among other things, in the behavior of the Cauchy transform of the conjugates of holomorphic functions.
