$q$-Numerical Ranges and Spectral Sets

Abstract: We study spectral constants for convex domains $Ω$ containing the spectrum of an operator. We extend the Crouzeix--Palencia framework by obtaining bounds depending on a parameter $γ$ and relating these bounds to geometric properties of $Ω$ and the numerical range $W(A)$. We generalise the proof that the numerical range is a $1+\sqrt{2}$-spectral set to scaled $q$-numerical ranges. We also propose a generalisation of Crouzeix's Conjecture in the context of $q$-numerical ranges.
