Abstract: Let be an essentially subnormal operator. We give six conditions which are equivalent to the spectrum of being a -spectral set. From this follow two corollaries which give sufficient conditions for invariant subspaces of essentially subnormal operators. Several examples are given that show that some essentially subnormal operators are not essentially normal nor perturbations of subnormal operators.
