Let , 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, be Banach spaces obtained via complex interpolation. With suitable hypotheses, linear operators T that act boundedly on both and will act boundedly on each . Let denote such an operator when considered on , and denote its spectrum. We are motivated by the question of whether or not the map is continuous on (0,1); this question remains open. In this paper, we study continuity of two related maps: (polynomially convex hull) and (boundary of the polynomially convex hull). We show that the first of these maps is always upper semicontinuous, and the second is always lower semicontinuous. Using an example from [5], we now have definitive information: is upper semicontinuous but not necessarily continuous, and is lower semicontinuous but not necessarily continuous.
