N2 - Let A be a semisimple, unital and complex Banach algebra. It is well-known, and easy to prove that A is commutative if and only exey = ex+y for all x,y ϵ A. Elaborating on the spectral theory of commutativity developed by Aupetit, Zemánek, and Zemánek and Pták, we derive, in this paper, commutativity results via a spectral comparison of exey and ex+y.
