When A ∈ B(H) and B ∈ B(K ) are given, we denote by M C the operator acting on the Hilbert space H ⊕ K of the form M C = A C 0 B . In this note, it is shown that the following results in [Hai-Yan Zhang, Hong-Ke Du, Browder spectra of upper-triangular operator matrices, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323 (2006) 700-707]are not always true, although the authors tried to fill the gap in their proofs by proposing an additional condition in [H.-Y. Zhang, H.-K Du, Corrigendum to "Browder spectra of upper-triangular operator matrices" [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323 (2006) 700-707], J. Math. Anal. Appl. 337 (2007) 751-752]. A counterexample is given and then we show that under one of the following conditions:where W (A, B) = {λ ∈ C: N(B − λ) and H/R( A − λ) are not isomorphic up to a finite dimensional subspace}.
