The results of Rudin in [7] show that under certain conditions, the maximum modulus principle characterizes the algebra A (G) of functions analytic on an open subset G of the plane C (see below). In [2], Birtel obtained a characterization of A(C) in terms of the Liouville theorem; he proved that every singly generated F-algebra of continuous functions on C which contains no non-constant bounded functions is isomorphic to A(C) in the compact-open topology. In this paper we show that the Montel property of the topological algebra A (G) also characterizes it. In particular, any Montel algebra A of continuous complex-valued functions on G which contains the polynomials and has continuous homomorphism space M (A) homeomorphic to G is precisely A(G).

1. In this paper, X will always denote a locally compact Hausdorff space, C0(X) the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity on X and B(X) the algebra of all bounded continuous complex-valued functions defined on X. If X is compact, C0(X) is identical to B (X) and all the results of this paper are obvious. Therefore, we will assume at the outset that X is not compact. If A represents an algebra of functions, AR will denote the algebra of all real-valued functions in A.

AbstractIn this paper we introduce a nested family of spaces of continuous functions defined on the spectrum of a uniform algebra. The smallest space in the family is the uniform algebra itself. In the “finite dimensional” case, from some point on the spaces will be the space of all continuous complex-valued functions on the spectrum. These spaces are defined in terms of solutions to the nonlinear Cauchy–Riemann equations as introduced by the author in 1976, so they are not generally linear spaces of functions. However, these spaces do shed light on the higher dimensional properties of a uniform algebra. In particular, these spaces are directly related to the generalized Shilov boundary of the uniform algebra (as defined by the author and, independently, by Sibony in the early 1970s).

Gelfand-Naimark's theorem states that every commutative -algebra is isomorphic to a complex valued algebra of continuous functions over a suitable compact space. We observe that for a completely regular space , is dense--separable if and only if is -cogenerated if and only if every family of maximal ideals of with zero intersection has a subfamily with cardinal number less than and zero intersection. This gives a simple characterization of -cogenerated commutative unital -algebras via their maximal ideals.

It is known that the so-called elementary symmetric polynomials $R_n(x) = \int_{[0,1]}(x(t))^n\,dt$ form an algebraic basis in the algebra of all symmetric continuous polynomials on the complex Banach space $L_\infty,$ which is dense in the Fr\'{e}chet algebra $H_{bs}(L_\infty)$ of all entire symmetric functions of bounded  type on $L_\infty.$ Consequently, every continuous homomorphism $\varphi: H_{bs}(L_\infty) \to \mathbb{C}$ is uniquely determined by the sequence $\{\varphi(R_n)\}_{n=1}^\infty.$ By the continuity of the homomorphism $\varphi,$ the sequence $\{\sqrt[n]{|\varphi(R_n)|}\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is bounded. On the other hand, for every sequence $\{\xi_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \subset \mathbb{C},$ such that the sequence $\{\sqrt[n]{|\xi_n|}\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is bounded,  there exists  $x_\xi \in L_\infty$ such that $R_n(x_\xi) = \xi_n$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N}.$ Therefore, for the point-evaluation functional $\delta_{x_\xi}$ we have $\delta_{x_\xi}(R_n) = \xi_n$ for every $n \in \mathbb{N}.$ Thus, every continuous complex-valued homomorphism of $H_{bs}(L_\infty)$ is a point-evaluation functional at some point of $L_\infty.$ Note that such a point is not unique. We can consider an equivalence relation on $L_\infty,$ defined by $x\sim y \Leftrightarrow \delta_x = \delta_y.$ The spectrum (the set of all continuous complex-valued homomorphisms) $M_{bs}$ of the algebra $H_{bs}(L_\infty)$ is one-to-one with the quotient set $L_\infty/_\sim.$ Consequently, $M_{bs}$ can be endowed with the quotient topology. On the other hand, it is naturally to identify $M_{bs}$ with the set of all sequences $\{\xi_n\}_{n=1}^\infty \subset \mathbb{C}$ such that the sequence $\{\sqrt[n]{|\xi_n|}\}_{n=1}^\infty$ is bounded.We show that the quotient topology is Hausdorffand that $M_{bs}$ with the operation of coordinate-wise addition of sequences forms an abelian topological group.

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 be an arbitrary family of continuous complex-valued functions defined on a compact Hausdorff space X. A closed subset B ⊆ X is called a boundary for if every attains its maximum modulus at some point of B. A boundary, B, is said to be minimal if there exists no boundary for properly contained in B. It can be shown that minimal boundaries exist regardless of the algebraic structure which may possess. Under certain conditions on the family , it can be shown that a unique minimal boundary for exists. In particular, this is the case if is a subalgebra or subspace of C(X) where X is compact and Hausdorff (see for example [2]). This unique minimal boundary for an algebra of functions is called the Silov boundary of .

A pair () is a ringed space if it is a subsheaf of rings with 1 of the sheaf of germs of continuous functions on X. If U is an open subset of X, we denote the set of sections over U relative to by . If , then implies that there exists some open neighbourhood V of u, V ⊂ U, and some g continuous on V such that the germ of g at u, ug is ϕ(u). Now we define ϕ(u) (u) to be g(u) and in this way we obtain, in a unique fashion, a continuous complex-valued function on U. The collection of all such functions for a given set is denoted by and is called the -holomorphic functions on U.THEOREM. Let X be a locally connected Hausdorff space and () a ringed space.

LetC(X,G)denote the group of continuous functions from a topological spaceXinto a topological groupGwith the pointwise multiplication and the compact-open topology. We show that there is a natural topology on the collection of normal subgroupsΔ(X)ofC(X,G)of theMp={f∈C(X,G):f(p)=e}which is analogous to the hull-kernel topology on the commutative Banach algegraC(X)of all continuous real or complex-valued functions onX. We also investigate homomorphisms between groupsC(X,G)andC(Y,G).
