Spectrum of a nontrivial bounded projection

ID: spectrum-of-a-nontrivial-bounded-projection

Let be a bounded linear operator on a complex Banach space with , and . Its image of a linear map and kernel contain nonzero vectors, giving eigenvalues one and zero. For ,
Direct multiplication proves the formula, so the spectrum is exactly and its spectral radius is one. Since and , the spectral radius formula is explicit: .
