摘要: For a tuple $A=(A_1,\ A_2,\ ...,\ A_n)$ of elements in a unital Banach algebra
${\mathcal B}$, its {\em projective joint spectrum} $P(A)$ is the collection of $z\in {\bf C}^n$ such that the multiparameter pencil $A(z)=z_1A_1+z_2A_2+\cdots +z_nA_n$ is not invertible. If ${\mathcal B}$ is the group $C^*$-algebra for a discrete group $G$ generated by $A_1,\ A_2,\ ...,\ A_n$ with respect to a representation $\rho$, then $P(A)$ is an invariant of (weak) equivalence for $\rho$. This series of talks present some recent work on the projective spectrum $P(R)$ of $R=(1,\ a,\ t)$ for the infinite dihedral group $D_{\infty}=<a,\ t\ |\ a^2=t^2=1>$ with respect to the left regular representation. Results include a description of the spectrum, a formula for the Fuglede-Kadison determinant of the pencil $R(z)=z_0+z_1a+z_2t$, the first singular homology group of the joint resolvent set $P^c(R)$, and dynamical properties of the spectrum. These results give new insight into some earlier studies on groups of intermediate growth. Moreover, they suggest a link between projective spectrum and the Julia set of dynamical maps. Time permitting, I will also go over some other aspects of the projective spectrum as related to group theory, topology, complex geometry and Lie algebras.
