AbstractLet T be a contraction on a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space and let σ(T) (resp. σe(T)) be its spectrum (resp. essential spectrum). We assume that T is an essentially isometric operator; that is, IH -T*T is compact. We show that if D\σ(T) ≠ Ø, then for every f from the disc-algebraσe(f(T)) = f(σe(T))where D is the open unit disc. In addition, if T lies in the class C0.∪ C.0, thenσe(f(T)) = f(σ(T) ∩ Γ),where Γ is the unit circle. Some related problems are also discussed.
