Summary: We investigate the local spectral behaviour of (constant coefficient) matrix differential operators, and more general matrix p-multiplier operators, in L^p-spaces (particularly, over $\mathbb R^N$). Of particular interest is the decomposability and spectral mapping properties of such operators, together with relevant functional calculi, when they are available.
