contents For a tuple $A=(A_0,A_1,\cdots,A_n)$ of elements in a Banach algebra $\mathfrak{B}$, its projective (joint) spectrum $p(A)$ is the collection of $z\in \mathbb{P}^n$ such that $A(z)=z_0A_0+z_1A_1+\cdots+z_nA_n$ is not invertible. If $\mathfrak{B}$ is the group $C^*$-algebra for a discrete group $G$ generated by $A_0, A_1,\dots, A_n$ with a representation $ρ$, then $p(A)$ is an invariant of (weak) equivalence for $ρ$. In \cite{BY}, B. Goldberg and R. Yang proved that the Julia set $\mathcal{J}(F)$ of the induced rational map $F$ for the infinite dihedral group $D_\infty$ is the union of the projective spectrum with the extended indeterminacy set. But the extended indeterminacy set $E_F$ is complicated. To obtain a better relationship between the projective spectrum and the Julia set, by replacing $A_π(z)=z_0+z_1π(a)+z_2π(t)$ with the extended pencil $A_π(z)=z_0+z_1π(a)+z_2π(t)+z_3π(at)$, where $π$ is the Koopman representation, and using the method of operator recursions, we show that $p(A_π)=\mathcal{J}(F).$ Further, we study the spectral dynamics for the Lamplighter group $\mathcal{L}$, and prove that $\mathcal{J}(Q)=E_Q$, where $Q$ is the rational map associated with $\mathcal{L}$.
