let be [tex]f(x)=det(xI-T)[/tex] for some operator 'T'

then does Cayley-Hamilton theorem apply so [tex]f(T)=0[/tex] in the sense of operator

Good question , Zetafunction.
I think we need restrictions on T to ensure convergence in the corresponding Banach/Hilbert space( or else f(T) may not make sense.)
