If a is an element of a complex unital Banach algebra whose numerical range is confined to a closed angular region with vertex at zero and angle strictly less than π, we imbed a in a holomorphic semigroup with parameter in the open right half plane.

There has been recently a great development in the theory of semigroups in Banach algebras (see [6]), with attention focused on the relation between the structure of a given Banach algebra and the existence of continuous or holomorphic non-trivial semigroups with certain properties with range in this algebra. The interest of this paper arises from the fact that we relate in it, we think for the first time, this new point of view in the theory of Banach algebras with the already classic one of numerical ranges [2,3]. The proofs of our results use, in addition to some basic ideas from numerical ranges in Banach algebras, the concept of extremal algebra Ea(K) of a compact convex set K in ℂ due to Bollobas [1] and concretely the realization of Ea(K) achieved by Crabb, Duncan and McGregor [4].
