Recall that the spectrum, σ(T), of a linear operator T in a complex Banach space is the set of complex numbers λ such that T—λI does not have a densely defined bounded inverse. It is known [7, § 5.1] that σ(T) is a closed subset of the complex plane C. If T is not bounded, σ(T) may be empty or the whole of C. If σ(T) ≠ C and T is closed the spectral mapping theorem, is valid for complex polynomials p(z) [7, §5.7]. Also, if T is closed and λ ∉ σ(T), (T–λI)−1 is everywhere defined.
