Let X be a complex Banach space and Cb(Ω:X) be the Banach space of all bounded continuous functions from a Hausdorff space Ω to X, equipped with sup norm. A closed subspace A of Cb(Ω:X) is said to be an X-valued function algebra if it satisfies the following three conditions: (i) A≔{x⁎∘f:f∈A,  x⁎∈X⁎} is a closed subalgebra of Cb(Ω), the Banach space of all bounded complex-valued continuous functions; (ii) ϕ⊗x∈A for all ϕ∈A and x∈X; and (iii) ϕf∈A for every ϕ∈A and for every f∈A. It is shown that k-homogeneous polynomial and analytic numerical index of certain X-valued function algebras are the same as those of X.

Let A be a uniformly closed subalgebra of C(X), the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space X. If A separates the points of X and contains the constant functions, A is called a function algebra. The algebra A is said to be strongly regular on X if it has the following property.Property. For each f in A, each point x in X, and every , there is a neighbourhood U of x and a function g in A with g(y) = f(x) for all y in U and for all y in X.That is, each function in A is uniformly approximate on X by functions in A which are constant near any point of X. Stated in terms of ideals, strong regularity means that, for each x, the ideal of functions vanishing in a neighbourhood of x is uniformly dense in the maximal ideal at x.

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.

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space and C(X) the complexvalued continuous functions on X. We say A is a function algebra on X if A is a point separating, uniformly closed subalgebra of C(X) containing the constant functions. Equipped with the sup-norm ‖f‖ = sup{|f(x)|: x ∊ X} for f ∊ A, A is a Banach algebra. Let MA denote the maximal ideal space.Let D be the closed unit disk in C and let U be the open unit disk. We call A(D)={f ∊ C(D):f is analytic on U} the disk algebra. Let T be the unit circle and set C1(T) = {f ∊ C(T): f'(t) ∊ C(T)}.

Let S be a (jointly continuous) topological semigroup, C(S) the set of all bounded complex-valued continuous functions on S and M (S) the set of all bounded complex-valued Radon measures on S. Let (S) (or (S)) be the set of all µ ∈ M (S) such that x → │µ│ (x-1C) (or x → │µ│(Cx-1), respectively) is a continuous mapping of S into ℝ, for every compact set C ⊆ S, and . (Here │µ│ denotes the measure arising from the total variation of µ and the sets x-1C and Cx-1 are as defined in Section 2.) When S is locally compact the set Ma(S) was studied by A. C. and J. W. Baker in (1) and (2), by Sleijpen in (14), (15) and (16) and by us in (3). In this paper we show that some of the results of (1), (2), (14) and (15) remain valid for certain non-locally compact S and raise some new problems for such S.

Let X be a completely regular space. We denote by Cb(X) the Banach space of all real-valued bounded continuous functions on X endowed with the supremum-norm.In this paper we prove some characterisations of weakly compact operators defined from Cb(X) into a Banach space E which are continuous with respect to fit, βt, βr and βσ introduced by Sentilles.We also prove that (Cb,(X), βi), i = t, τσ , has the Dunford-Pettis property.

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).

AbstractLet X and Y be compact Hausdorff spaces, E be a real or complex Banach space and F be a real or complex locally convex topological vector space. In this paper we study a pair of linear operators S, T : A(X, E) → C(Y, F) from a subspace A(X, E) of C(X, E) to C(Y, F), which are jointly separating, in the sense that Tf and Sg have disjoint cozeros whenever f and g have disjoint cozeros. We characterize the general form of such maps between certain classes of vector-valued (as well as scalar-valued) spaces of continuous functions including spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz functions, absolutely continuous functions and continuously differentiable functions. The results can be applied to a pair T : A(X) → C(Y) and S : A(X, E) → C(Y, F) of linear operators, where A(X) is a regular Banach function algebra on X, such that f ⋅ g = 0 implies Tf ⋅ Sg = 0, for all f ∈ A(X) and g ∈ A(X, E). If T and S are jointly separating bijections between Banach algebras of scalar-valued functions of this class, then they induce a homeomorphism between X and Y and, furthermore, T−1 and S−1 are also jointly separating maps.

Let $X$ be a real separable normed space $X$ admitting a separating polynomial. We prove that each continuous function from a subset $A$ of $X$ to a real Banach space can be uniformly approximated by restrictions to $A$ of functions, which are analytic on open subsets of $X$. Also we prove that each continuous function to a complex Banach space from a complex separable normed space, admitting a separating $*$-polynomial, can be uniformly approximated by $*$-analytic functions.

A problem which has generated considerable interest during the past couple of decades is that of characterizing abstractly systems of realvalued continuous functions with various algebraic or topological-algebraic structures. With few exceptions known characterizations are of systems of bounded continuous functions on compact or locally compact spaces. Only recently have characterizations been given of the systems C(X) of all realvalued continuous functions on an arbitrary completely regular space X (1). One of the main objects of this paper is to provide, by using certain special techniques, a characterization of C(X) for a particular class of (not necessarily compact) completely regular spaces.
