Let $X$ be a *-algebra with identity $e$, and let $e\in{X}$, $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$. Can somebody show me how $\sigma(\lambda{e}-x)=\lambda-\sigma(x)$, where $\sigma(x)$ is the spectrum of an element.

Thanks in advance.

$v\in\sigma(\lambda e-x)$ if and only if $(\lambda-v)e-x$ is invertible, that is if and only if $\lambda-v\in\sigma(x)$, which gives the result.
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
