The spectra of closed interpolated operators

Let (E ₀,E ₁) be a compatible couple of Banach spaces, and letE : 0Re1 be the complex interpolation spaces ofE ₀,E ₁. LetT be a closed linear operator onE ₀+E ₁, then the restrictionT ofT to eachE is closed. If we denote by the extended spectrum ofT inE , then, under appropriate conditions, it is shown that the map is an analytic multifunction in the strip {C0<Re<1}. We use these results to give some applications to the spectral theory of semigroups.
