Summary: If X is a Hilbert space it is shown that very general subalgebras A of $\mathcal L (X)$ contain the holomorphic functional calculus in several variables in the sense of J.L. Taylor. In particular, Taylor’s holomorphic functional calculus applies to $\Psi*$-algebras (cf. [12], Definition 5.1), and so gives a useful tool for the investigation of certain algebras of pseudo-differential operators and of Fréchet operator algebras on singular spaces. Taylor’s holomorphic functional calculus applies also to algebras of $n \times n$-matrices with elements in $\Psi*$-algebras and even more general algebras. Furthermore, an example shows that Taylor’s holomorphic functional calculus for at least three commuting operators on a Hilbert space is, in general, richer than any other multidimensional holomorphic functional calculus in commutative subalgebras of $\mathcal L (X)$.

Keywords: Multidimensional Holomorphic Functional Calculus, Joint Spectra, $\Psi*$-Algebras.
