In this paper we consider two closely related problems concerning a complete locally m-convex (LMC) algebra A with identity. Let a be a fixed element of A, and let P(a) be the smallest closed subalgebra containing a and 1. If B is any subalgebra containing a and 1, we let σ(a; B) denote the spectrum of a as an element of B. (I) Describe the set σ(a; P(a)) in terms of σ(a; A). (II) Give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that σ (a; B) = σ(a; A) for every closed subalgebra B of A which contains a and 1.
