Abstract. We introduce a family of domains -which we call the µ1, n-quotients -associated with an aspect of µ-synthesis. We show that the natural association that the symmetrized polydisc has with the corresponding spectral unit ball is also exhibited by the µ1, n-quotient and its associated unit "µE-ball". Here, µE is the structured singular value for the case E = {[w] ⊕ (zIn−1) ∈ C n×n : z, w ∈ C}, n = 2, 3, 4, . . . Specifically: we show that, for such an E, the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem with matricial data in a unit "µE -ball", and in general position in a precise sense, is equivalent to a Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem for the associated µ1, n-quotient. Along the way, we present some characterizations for the µ1, n-quotients.
