This paper is concerned with a generalization of some recent theorems of Hausner (1) and Johnson (4; 5). Their result can be summarized as follows: Let G be a locally compact abelian group, A a commutative Banach algebra, B1 = Bl(G,A) the (commutative Banach) algebra of A-valued, Bochner integrable junctions on G, 3m1the maximal ideal space of A, m2the maximal ideal space of L1(G) [the [commutative Banach] algebra of complex-valued, Haar integrable functions on G, m3the maximal ideal space of B1. Then m3and the Cartesian product m1 X m2are homeomorphic when the spaces mi, i = 1, 2, 3, are given their weak* topologies. Furthermore, the association between m3and m1 X m2is such as to permit a description of any epimorphism E3: B1 → B1/m3 in terms of related epimorphisms E1: A → A/M1 and E2:L1(G) → Ll(G)/M2, where M1 is in mi i = 1, 2, 3.

Let S denote the unit sphere in Cn, B the (open) unit ball in Cn and H∞(B) the collection of all bounded holomorphic functions on B. For f ∈ H∞(B) the limitsexist for almost every ζ in S, and the map ƒ → ƒ* defines an isometric isomorphism from H∞(B) onto a closed subalgebra of L∞(S), denoted H∞(S). (The only measure on S we will refer to in this paper is the Lebesgue measure, dσ, generated by Euclidean surface area.) Rudin has shown in [4] that the spaces H∞(B) + C(B) and H∞(S) + C(S) are Banach algebras in the sup norm. In this paper we will show that the maximal ideal space of H∞(B) + C(B), Σ (H∞(B) + C(B)), is naturally homeomorphic to Σ (H∞(B)) and that Z (H∞(S) + C(S)) is naturally homeomorphic to Σ (H∞(S))\B.

Let A be a commutative real Banach algebra with unit, and MA its maximal ideal space. The existence of the Silov boundary SA for A was established in [5] by resorting to the complexification of A. We give here an intrinsic proof of this result which exhibits the close connection between the absolute values and the real parts of ‘functions’ in A (Theorem 1.3).

A constructive proof is given of Gelbaum's result that the maximal ideal space of the tensor product of commutative Banach algebras is homeomorphic to the cartesian product of the maximal ideal spaces.

If the maximal ideal space of a commutative complex unitary Banach algebra, X, is equipped with a nonnegative, finite, regular Borel measure, m, then for each element, x, in X, a. complex regular Borel measure, mx, can be obtained by integrating the Gelfand transform of x with respect to m over the Borel sets. This paper considers the possibility of direct sum decompositions of the form X = Ax ⊕ Px where Ax = {z ε X: mz ≪ mx} and Px = {z ε X: mz ┴ mx}.

H1(R) is a Banach algebra which has better mapping properties under singular integrals thanL1(R) . We show that its approximate identity sequences are unbounded by constructing one unbounded approximate identity sequence {vn}. We introduce a Banach algebraQthat properly lies betweenH1andL1, and use it to show thatc(1 + lnn) ≤ ||vn||H1≤Cn1/2. We identify the maximal ideal space ofH1and give the appropriate version of Wiener's Tauberian theorem.
