For a tuple A = (A1, A2, …, An) of elements in a unital algebra over ℂ, its projective spectrumP(A) or p(A) is the collection of z ∈ ℂn, or respectively z ∈ ℙn-1 such that A(z) = z1A1 + z2A2 + ⋯ + znAn is not invertible in . In finite dimensional case, projective spectrum is a projective hypersurface. When A is commuting, P(A) looks like a bundle over the Taylor spectrum of A. In the case is reflexive or is a C*-algebra, the projective resolvent setPc(A) := ℂn \ P(A) is shown to be a disjoint union of domains of holomorphy. -valued 1-form A-1(z)dA(z) reveals the topology of Pc(A), and a Chern–Weil type homomorphism from invariant multilinear functionals to the de Rham cohomology is established.
