Abstract: For a tuple $A=(A_1,A_2,\mathrm{...},A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra $mathcalB$, its {em projective joint spectrum} $P(A)$ is the collection of $zin{mathbbC}^n$ such that the multiparameter pencil $A(z)=z_1{A}_1+z_2{A}_2+cdots+z_n{A}_n$ is not invertible. If $mathcalB$ is the group $C^{*}$-algebra for a discrete group $G$ generated by $A_1,A_2,\mathrm{...},A_n$ with respect to a representation $ho$, then $P(A)$ is an invariant of (weak) equivalence for $ho$. This paper computes the joint spectrum of $(1,a,t)$ for the infinite dihedral group $D_{infty}=<a,t|a^2=t^2=1>$ with respect to the left regular representation $lambd{a}_D$, and gives an in-depth analysis on its properties. A formula for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of the pencil $R(z)=1+z_{1}a+z_{2}t$ is obtained, and it is used to compute the first singular homology group of the joint resolvent set $P^c(R)$. The joint spectrum gives new insight into some earlier studies on groups of intermediate growth, through which the corresponding joint spectrum of $(1,a,t)$ with respect to the Koopman representation $ho$ (constructed through a self-similar action of $D_{infty}$ on a binary tree) can be computed. It turns out that the joint spectra with respect to the two representations coincide. Interestingly, this fact leads to a self-similar realization of the group $C^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(D_{infty})$. This self-similarity of $C^{*}(D_{infty})$ is manifested by some dynamical properties of the joint spectrum.
