By a complex function space A we will mean a uniformly closed linear space of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space X, such that A contains constants and separates the points of X. We denote by S the state-spaceendowed with the w*-topology. If A is self-adjoint then it is well known (cf. [1]) that A is naturally isometrically isomorphic to , and re A is naturally isometrically isomorphic to A(S), where (respectively A(S)) denotes the Banach space of all complex-valued (respectively real-valued) continuous affine functions on S with the supremum norm.

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and C(X) the set of all continuous complex-valued functions on X. A function algebra A on X is a uniformly closed, point separating subalgebra of C(X) which contains the constants. Equipped with the sup-norm, A becomes a Banach algebra. We let MA denote the maximal ideal space and SA the Shilov boundary.

Kernel Representation

Representation theorems for additive functional have been obtained in [2, 4; 6-8; 10-13]. Our aim in this paper is to study the representation of additive operators.Let S be a compact Hausdorff space and let C(S) be the space of real-valued continuous functions defined on S. Let X be an arbitrary Banach space and let T be an additive operator (see § 2) mapping C(S) into X. We will show (see Lemma 3.4) that additive operators may be represented in terms of a family of “measures” {μh} which take their values in X**. If X is weakly sequentially complete, then {μh} can be shown to take their values in X and are vector-valued measures (i.e., countably additive in the norm) (see Lemma 3.7). And, if X* is separable in the weak-* topology, T may be represented in terms of a kernel representation satisfying the Carathéordory conditions (see [9; 11; §4]):

Totally Disconnected

In this paper we give a closer analysis of the elementary properties of the Banach spaces C(K), where K is a totally disconnected, compact Hausdorff space, in terms of the Boolean algebra B(K) of clopen subsets of K. In particular we sharpen a result in [4] by showing that if B(K1) and B(K2) satisfy the same sentences with ≤ n alternations of quantifiers, then the same is true of C(K1) and C(K2). As a consequence we show that for each n there exist C(K) spaces which are elementarily equivalent for sentences with ≤ n quantifier alternations, but which are not elementary equivalent in the full sense. Thus the elementary properties of Banach spaces cannot be determined by looking at sentences with a bounded number of quantifier alternations.The notion of elementary equivalence for Banach spaces which is studied here was introduced by the second author [4] and is expressed using the language of positive bounded formulas in a first-order language for Banach spaces. As was shown in [4], two Banach spaces are elementarily equivalent in this sense if and only if they have isometrically isomorphic Banach space ultrapowers (or, equivalently, isometrically isomorphic nonstandard hulls.)We consider Banach spaces over the field of real numbers. If X is such a space, Bx will denote the closed unit ball of X, Bx = {x ϵ X∣ ∣∣x∣∣ ≤ 1}. Given a compact Hausdorff space K, we let C(K) denote the Banach space of all continuous real-valued functions on K, under the supremum norm. We will especially be concerned with such spaces when K is a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space. In that case B(K) will denote the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of K. We adopt the standard notation from model theory and Banach space theory.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space and E, F Banach spaces. We denote by C(K, E) the Banach space of all continuous. E-valued functions defined on K, with the supremum norm. It is well known ([6], [7]) that every operator (= bounded linear operator) T from C(K, E) to F has a finitely additive representing measure m of bounded semi-variation, defined on the Borel σ-field Σ of K and with values in L(E, F″) (the space of all operators from E into the second dual of F), in such a way thatwhere the integral is considered in Dinculeanu's sense.

AbstractA commutative complex unital Banach algebra can be represented as a space of continuous complex-valued functions on a compact Hausdorff space via the Gelfand transform. However, in general it is not possible to represent a commutative real unital Banach algebra as a space of continuous real-valued functions on some compact Hausdorff space, and for this to happen some additional conditions are needed. In this note we represent a commutative real Banach algebra on a part of its state space and show connections with representations on the maximal ideal space of the algebra (whose existence one has to prove first).

Fix the following notation. Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, and denote by C(X) the vector space of continuous complex-valued functions on X, equipped with the uniform norm ∥·∥x. Let A be a unital subalgebra of C(X). A non-empty subset S of X is said to be A-antisymmetric if whenever h ∈ A and h is real-valued on S then h is constant on S.

This paper is a continuation of the earlier papers (1, 5) in which the author studied matrices with entries from the algebra C() of all continuous, complex-valued functions on an extremely disconnected, compact Hausdorff space . (Such spaces are sometimes called Stonian, after M. H. Stone, who first considered them in (8). They arise naturally as maximal ideal spaces of abelian W*-algebras.) In this note, three theorems are proved.

Let G be a topological semigroup, i.e. G is a semigroup with a Hausdorff topology such that the map (a, b) → a.b from G × G into G is continuous when G × G has the product topology. Let C(G) denote the space of complex-valued bounded continuous functions on G with the supremum norm. Let LUC (G) denote the space of bounded left uniformly continuous complex-valued functions on G i.e. all f ε C(G) such that the map a → laf of G into C(G) is continuous when C(G) has a norm topology, where (laf )(x) = f (ax) (a, x ε G). Then LUC (G) is a closed subalgebra of C(G) invariant under translations. Furthermore, if m ε LUC (G)*, f ε LUC (G), then the functionis also in LUC (G). Hence we may define a productfor n, m ε LUC(G)*. LUC (G)* with this product is a Banach algebra. Furthermore, ʘ is precisely the restriction of the Arens product defined on the second conjugate algebra l∞(G)* = l1(G)** to LUC (G)*. We refer the reader to [1] and [10] for more details.
