We investigate the $L_{p}$-spectrum of linear operators defined consistently on $L_{p}(Ω)$ for p₀ ≤ p ≤ p₁, where (Ω,μ) is an arbitrary σ-finite measure space and 1 ≤ p₀ < p₁ ≤ ∞. We prove p-independence of the $L_{p}$-spectrum assuming weighted norm estimates. The assumptions are formulated in terms of a measurable semi-metric d on (Ω,μ); the balls with respect to this semi-metric are required to satisfy a subexponential volume growth condition. We show how previous results on $L_{p}$-spectral independence can be treated as special cases of our results and give examples-including strictly elliptic operators in Euclidean space and generators of semigroups that satisfy (generalized) Gaussian bounds-to indicate improvements.
