The analytic functional calculus for an operator a on a Banach space X can be thought of in the following way: If P is the algebra of complex polynomials in one variable, then the operator a determines an action (p, x)+ p (u) x: P xx-+ X of P on X-that is, a P-module structure on X. Now the algebra P is canonically embedded in each of the topological algebras ‘%(U), where UC@ is a domain and ‘$ I (U) is the algebra of functions holomorphic on U. The analytic functional calculus problem for a is the problem of deciding for which domains U, it is true that the action of P on X (determined by a) extends to a continuous action of ‘U (U) on X. The solution to this problem is well known and is a key tool in much of modern analysis: The action extends if and only if U contains the spectrum of the operator a. The analytic functional calculus can also be regarded as a result concerning elements of a commutative Banach algehra. In this form, there is a several variable version, the Shilov-Arens-Calderon Theorem (cf.[I, 13]), which states that if a,,..., a, are elements of a commutative Banach algebra A, then the algebra homomorphism p+ p (ul,..., a,): P,+ A extends to a continuous homomorphism f+ f (a,,..., a,): 2I (U)+ A whenever U is a domain in fZn which contains the joint spectrum of the n-tuple (ur,..., a,). We introduced in [14] a notion of joint spectrum for a commuting n-tuple of operators on a Banach space and in [15] proved the corresponding version of the Shilov-Arens-Calderon Theorem: Such an n-tuple (ui,..., a,) determines an action (p, 3)+~(a,,..., a&: P, x X--+ X of the n-variable polynomial algebra on X; this action
