Let A be a complex unital Banach algebra. An element uA is a norm unitary if

(For the algebra of all bounded operators on a Banach space, the norm unitaries arethe invertible isometries.) Given a norm unitary uA, we have Sp(u)⊃Γ, where Sp(u) denotes the spectrum of u and Γ denotes the unit circle in C. If Sp(u)≠Γ we may suppose, by replacing eu, that . Then there exists hA such that
