For a tuple A = (A 1,A 2, …,A n ) of elements in a unital algebra B over ℂ, its projective spectrum P(A) or p(A) is the collection of z ∈ ℂ n , or respectively z ∈ ℙ n−1, such that A(z) = z 1 A 1+z 2 A 2+…+z n A n is not invertible in B. The first half of this paper proves that if B is Banach then the resolvent set P c (A) consists of domains of holomorphy. The second half computes the projective spectrum for the generating vectors of a Clifford algebra. The Chern character of an associated kernel bundle is shown to be nontrivial.
