### Unified Approach to Spectral Properties of Multipliers

#### Abstract

Let $\mathbb{B}_n$ be the open unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We characterize the spectra of pointwise multipliers $M_u$ acting on Banach spaces of analytic functions on $\mathbb{B}_n$ satisfying some general conditions. These spaces include Bergman-Sobolev spaces $A^p_{\alpha,\beta}$, Bloch-type spaces $\mathcal{B}_{\alpha}$, weighted Hardy spaces $H^p_w$ with Muckenhoupt weights and Hardy-Sobolev Hilbert spaces $H^2_{\beta}$. Moreover, we describe the essential spectra of multipliers in most of the aforementioned spaces, in particular, in those spaces for which the set of multipliers is a subset of the ball algebra.
