Abstract.
The aim of the paper is to investigate spectral properties of the Lie algebras corresponding to the symmetry groups of certain flags of vector bundles over a compact space. Under natural hypotheses, such Lie algebras are solvable, being in general infinite dimensional. The spectral theory of finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras of operators is extended to this natural class of infinite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras. The discussion uses the language of continuous fields of \(C^*\)-algebras. The flag manifolds in \(C^*\)-algebraic framework are naturally involved here, they providing the basic method for obtaining flags of vector bundles.
