recently introduced a spectrum for complex solvable Lie algebras of operators, which
agrees in the abelian case with the Taylor spectrum for several commuting operators,
and proved that their spectrum also satisfies the projection property. This result is
correct, but there seems to be a misunderstanding of a theorem of Cartan and
Eilenberg in the proof. In this paper we prove the projection property of this
generalized Taylor spectrum with the help of the projection property of the
approximate point spectrum.
