Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be Banach algebras such that [Formula: see text] is a Banach [Formula: see text]-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product [Formula: see text], which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological center, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of [Formula: see text], we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of [Formula: see text] in relation to that of the algebras [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. We also compute the first cohomology group [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]th dual space of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] itself when [Formula: see text]. These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and [Formula: see text]-weak amenability of [Formula: see text]. In this context, several open questions arise.

Let $A$ be a unitary commutative Banach algebra with unit $e$. For $f\in A$ we denote by $\hat f$ the Gelfand transform of $f$ defined on $\hat A$, the set of maximal ideals of $A$. Let $(f_1,\dots,f_n)\in A^n$ be such that $\sum_{i=1}^n\|f_i\|^2 \leq 1$. We study here the existence of solutions $(g_1,\dots,g_n)\in A^n$ to the Bezout equation $f_1g_1+\cdots+f_ng_n=e$, whose norm is controlled by a function of $n$ and $\delta=\inf_{\chi\in\hat A}(|\hat f_1(\chi)|^2+\cdots+|\hat f_n(\chi)|^2)^{1/2}$. We treat this problem for the analytic Beurling algebras and their quotient by closed ideals. The general Banach algebras with compact Gelfand transform are also considered.

We define higher order rhotrices over a commutative unital ring S and obtain a ring \mathcal{R}_n(S) of rhotrices of the order n \in \mathbb{N}. We characterize the ideals and maximal ideals of \mathcal{R}_n(S). As a particular case, we record ideals of rhotrix rings over integers and rhotrix algebras over complex plane \mathbb{C}. As an application, we characterize the maximal ideals of the commutative unital Banach algebra \mathcal{R}_n(\mathbb{C}).

AbstractWhen G is a topological group, the set N(G) of continuous self-maps of G, and the subset N0(G) of those which fix the identity of G, are near-rings. In this paper we examine the (left) ideal structure of these near-rings when G is finite. N0(G) is shown to have exactly two maximal ideals, whose intersection is the radical. In the final section we investigate subnear-rings of N0(G) determined by certain continuous elements of the endomorphism near-ring.

A Banach algebra P over C with identity element is called an N-algebra if any closed ideal in P is the intersection of maximal ideals. An example is given by the algebra of the continuous C-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space X under the supremum norm; two others are discussed in § 3.

The maximal ideals in a commutative Banach algebra with identity have been elegantly characterized [5; 6] as those subspaces of codimension one which do not contain invertible elements. Also, see [1]. For a function algebra A, a closed separating subalgebra with constants of the algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on the spectrum of A, a compact Hausdorff space, this characterization can be restated: Let F be a linear functional on A with the property: (*) For each ƒ in A there is a point s, which may depend on f, for which F(f) = f(s).

Let A be a commutative complex Banach algebra with identity e. Gleason [1] (cf. also Kahane and Żelazko [2]) has given the following characterization of maximal ideals in A.Theorem. A subspace X ⊂ A of codimension one is a maximal ideal in A if and only if it consists of non-invertible elements.The proofs given by Gleason and by Kahane and Żelazko are both based on the use of Hadamard's factorization theorem for entire functions. In this note we show that this can be avoided by using elementary properties of analytic functions.

Letbe a commutative Banach algebra over the complex fieldC,Man ideal of. Denote byM2the set of all finite linear combinations of products of elements fromM.Mwill be termed idempotent ifM2=M. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the structure of commutative Banach algebras in which all maximal ideals are idempotent.

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra, D a closed derivation defined on a subalgebra Δ of A, and with range in A. The elements of Δ may be called derivable in the obvious sense. For each integer k ≦.l, denote by Δk the domain of Dk (so that Dgr;1 = Δ); it is a simple consequence of Leibniz's formula that each Δk is an algebra. The classical example of this situation is A = C(O, 1) under the supremum norm with D ordinary differentiation, and here Δk = Ck(0, 1) is a Banach algebra under the norm ∥.∥k: Furthermore, the maximal ideals of Ak are precisely those subsets of Δk of the form M ∩ Δk where M is a maximal ideal of A, and = M, the bar denoting closure in A. In the present note we show how this extends to the general case.

Let A be a complex Banach algebra. By an ideal in A we mean a two-sided idealunless otherwise specified. As in (7, p. 59) by the strong radical of A we mean theintersection of the modular maximal ideals of A (if there are no such ideals we set =A). Our aim is to discuss the nature of and the relation of to A for a specialclass of Banach algebras. Henceforth A will denote a semi-simple modular annihilatorBanach algebra (one for which the left (right) annihilator of each modular maximalright (left) ideal is not (0)). For the theory of such algebras see (2) and (9).
