contents In recent work, Shalit and Shamovich associated to every operator space structure $\mathcal{E}$ on $\mathbb{C}^d$ a spectral radius function $ρ_{\mathcal{E}}$ on $d$-tuples of operators. The main goal of this paper is to elucidate how this spectral radius depends on the operator space structure. Let $V = (\mathbb{C}^d, \|\cdot\|_V)$ be a normed space and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a quantization of $V$. We show that for a commuting operator tuple $X$, the spectral radius depends only on the underlying normed space; more precisely, \[ ρ_{\mathcal{E}}(X) = \max\{ \|λ\|_V : λ\in σ(X)\}, \] where $σ(X)$ denotes the joint spectrum of $X$. In contrast, we prove that if $\dim V \geq 3$, then $ρ_{\min(V)}(X) \neq ρ_{\max(V)}(X)$ already for some matrix tuple $X$. When $\mathcal{E}_1$ and $\mathcal{E}_2$ are selfadjoint operator spaces, we show that $ρ_{\mathcal{E}_1}(X) = ρ_{\mathcal{E}_2}(X)$ for all tuples $X$ implies $\mathcal{E}_1 = \mathcal{E}_2$. We present two proofs of this result; a key ingredient in one of them is a characterization, of independent interest, of $ρ_{\mathcal{E}}(A)$ in terms of the invertibility domain of the linear pencil associated with $A$. Finally, we prove that if two operator spaces give rise to the same spectral radius function, then the algebras of locally uniformly bounded NC functions on the corresponding NC unit balls coincide.

In recent work, Shalit and Shamovich associated to every operator space structure $\mathcal{E}$ on $\mathbb{C}^d$ a spectral radius function $ρ_{\mathcal{E}}$ on $d$-tuples of operators. The main goal of this paper is to elucidate how this spectral radius depends on the operator space structure. Let $V = (\mathbb{C}^d, \|\cdot\|_V)$ be a normed space and let $\mathcal{E}$ be a quantization of $V$. We show that for a commuting operator tuple $X$, the spectral radius depends only on the underlying normed space; more precisely, \[ ρ_{\mathcal{E}}(X) = \max\{ \|λ\|_V : λ\in σ(X)\}, \] where $σ(X)$ denotes the joint spectrum of $X$.
