Abstract
The quantum annulus of type r is the class of invertible operators with singular values in (1/r, r). Given an analytic function on the classical annulus of type r, we may evaluate it on operators in the quantum annulus via the holomorphic functional calculus. The spectral constant gives the maximum ratio betweeen the supremum over the norm of evalutions at operators in the quantum annulus to the supremum over classical evaluations. We show that the limit of the spectral constant as r goes to infinity is 2. Via the correspondence between annuli and hyperbolae, our study degenerates the problem to one on the quantum cross, pairs of contractions with product zero, where the spectral constant is exactly 2. As a consequence, we see the following elementary sharp Cartan extension theorem with bounds in the limit case: Let
be analytic functions such that
There is an
