Rudin functional Analysis chapter 10, exercise 20












4














This is the exercise:



Suppose $xin A$, $x_nin A$, and $lim x_n=x$. Suppose $Omega$ is
an open set in $mathbb C$ that contains a component of $sigma(x)$.
Prove that $sigma(x_n)$ intersects $Omega$ for all sufficiently
large $n$. (This strengthens Theorem 10.20.) Hint: If
$sigma(x)subsetOmegacupOmega_0$, where $Omega_0$ is an open
set disjoint from $Omega$, consider the function $f$ that is $1$ in
$Omega$, and $0$ in $Omega_0$.



According to Rudin's hint, we can define $fin
H(OmegacupOmega_0)$
as follows:
$$
f(lambda) = left {begin{array}{lll}
1 & lambdain Omega\
0 & lambdain Omega_0\
end{array}right.
$$

And then by symbolic calculus we have
$$
tilde{f}(x) = left {begin{array}{lll}
e & sigma(x)subset Omega\
0 & sigma(x)subset Omega_0\
end{array}right.
$$

For the $xin A$ that $x_nrightarrow x$, we have
$$tilde{f}(x)=tilde{f}(lim_{ntoinfty}x_n)=lim_{ntoinfty}tilde{f}(x_n),$$
meaning ${tilde{f}(x_n)}$ as a sequence in $A$ converges to
$tilde{f}(x)$. So for a large enough $n$;
$$sigmabig(tilde{f}(x_n)big)capsigmabig(tilde{f}(x)big)neqemptyset.$$
And by spectral mapping theorem;
$$fbig(sigma(x_n)big)cap fbig(sigma(x)big)neqemptyset,$$
$$fbig(sigma(x_n)big)cap {0,1}neqemptyset.$$
So we are forced to have only one of these three possibilities;



1) $fbig(sigma(x_n)big)={0,1}$



2) $fbig(sigma(x_n)big)={1}$



3) $fbig(sigma(x_n)big)={0}$



The third case never happens. Because if it happens by the
definition of $f$, we can conclude for any large $n$ that
$$sigma(x_n)subsetOmega_0,$$
in which by tending $n$ to infinity, we get the following
contradiction;
$$sigma(x)subsetOmega_0.$$
In the first and second cases, there will be at least one
$lambdain sigma(x_n)$ such that $f(lambda)=1$ which by
definition simply means $sigma(x_n)$ intersects $Omega$.



Is this true? Thank you for your help.
