Spectra of singular measures as multipliers on Lp

Stein's theorem on the interpolation of a family of operators between two analytic spaces is generalized, both to a multiply connected domain and to an interpolation between more than two spaces. The theorem is then applied to get setwise upper bounds for spectra of convolution operators on L^p of the circle. In particular the spectra of operators given by convolution by Cantor-Lebesgue-type measures on L^p are determined. The same is done for certain Riesz products. These results are used to derive a result on translation-invariant subspaces of L^p of the circle.
