A Characterization of Spectral Operators

\textit{N. A. Dunford} [Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 64, 217--274 (1958; Zbl 0088.32102)] showed that a bounded linear operator \(T\) defined on a weakly complete Banach space \(Y\) is spectral if and only if four conditions are satisfied, the last being the rather complicated decomposability condition. In the present paper Dunford's characterization is simplified. Specifically, it is proved that \(T\) is spectral if and only if: (i) there exists \(K>0\) such that \(\| x\|\leq K\| x+y\|\) for \(x\in S_T(\delta)\) and any \(y\in S_T(\mathbb{C}\setminus \delta)\), \(S_T(\delta)\) being the set of \(x\in Y\) such that \(x=(z-T)f(x)\) for some analytic \(Y\)-valued function \(f\) on \(\mathbb{C}\setminus\delta\) with \(\delta\) a closed subset of \(\mathbb{C}\); (ii) \(S_T(\Delta)\) is closed and \(S_T(\Delta)+S_T(\mathbb{C}\setminus\Delta)\) is dense in \(Y\) whenever \(\Delta\) is a closed half-plane.
