Abstract:Let $mathcal K $ be a Banach space, $mathcal B $ a unital $mathrm C^*$-algebra, and $pi :mathcal B tomathcal L (mathcal K )$ an injective, unital homomorphism. Suppose that there exists a function $gamma :mathcal K times mathcal Kto mathbb R^+$ such that, for all $k,k_1,k_2in mathcal K$, and all $bin mathcal B$,

(a) $gamma (k,k)=|k|^2$,

(b) $gamma (k_1,k_2)le |k_1|,|k_2|$,

(c) $gamma (pi _bk_1,k_2)=gamma (k_1,pi _{b^*}k_2)$.
Then for all $bin mathcal B$, the spectrum of $b$ in $mathcal B $ equals the spectrum of $pi _b$ as a bounded linear operator on $mathcal K $. If $gamma $ satisfies an additional requirement and $mathcal B $ is a $mathrm W ^*$-algebra, then the Taylor spectrum of a commuting $n$-tuple $b=(b_1,dotsc ,b_n)$ of elements of $mathcal B $ equals the Taylor spectrum of the $n$-tuple $pi _b$ in the algebra of bounded operators on $mathcal K $. Special cases of these results are (i) if $mathcal K $ is a closed subspace of a unital $mathrm C^*$-algebra which contains $mathcal B $ as a unital $mathrm C ^*$-subalgebra such that $mathcal {BK}subseteq mathcal K$, and $bmathcal K ={0}$ only if $b=0$, then for each $bin mathcal B$, the spectrum of $b$ in $mathcal B $ is the same as the spectrum of left multiplication by $b$ on $mathcal K $; (ii) if $mathcal A $ is a unital $mathrm C ^*$-algebra and $mathcal J $ is an essential closed left ideal in $mathcal A $, then an element $a$ of $mathcal A $ is invertible if and only if left multiplication by $a$ on $mathcal J $ is bijective; and (iii) if $mathcal A $ is a $mathrm C ^* $-algebra, $mathcal E $ is a Hilbert $mathcal A $-module, and $T$ is an adjointable module map on $mathcal E $, then the spectrum of $T$ in the $mathrm C ^*$-algebra of adjointable operators on $mathcal E $ is the same as the spectrum of $T$ as a bounded operator on $mathcal E $. If the algebra of adjointable operators on $mathcal E $ is a $mathrm W ^*$-algebra, then the Taylor spectrum of a commuting $n$-tuple of adjointable operators on $mathcal E $ is the same relative to the algebra of adjointable operators and relative to the algebra of all bounded operators on $mathcal E $.
