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).

The Stone-Weierstrass theorem gives very simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a subset A of the algebra of all real-valued continuous functions on the compact Hausdorff space X to generate a subalgebra dense in namely, this is so if and only if the functions of A strongly separate the points of X, in other words given any two distinct points of X there exists a function in A taking different values at these points, and given any point of X there exists a function in A non-zero there. In the case of the algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on X, the same result holds provided that we consider the subalgebra generated by A together with Ā, the set of complex conjugates of the functions in A.

Formal Power

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.

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).

Uniformly Closed

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.

Let X be a compact Hausdorff space, let C(X) be the algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on X, and let A be a uniform algebra on X. Fix a nonzero complex homomorphism τ on A and a representing measure m for τ on X. The abstract Hardy space Hp = Hp(m), 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, determined by A is defined to the closure of Lp = Lp(m) when p is finite and to be the weak*-closure of A in L∞ = L∞(m) p = ∞.

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.

Let $S$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let $A$ be a Banach algebra. Denote by $C_0(S, A)$ the Banach algebra of all $A$-valued continuous functions vanishing at infinity on $S$. Properties of bounded linear operators on $C_0(S,A)$, like multiplicativity, are characterized by Choy in terms of their representing measures. We study these theorems and give sharper results in certain cases.

AbstractThis paper is about the connection between certain Banach-algebraic properties of a commutative Banach algebra E with unit and the associated commutative Banach algebra C(X, E) of all continuous functions from a compact Hausdorff space X into E. The properties concern Ditkin's condition and bounded relative units. We show that these properties are shared by E and C(X, E). We also consider the relationship between these properties in the algebras E, B and $\~{B}$ that appear in the so-called admissible quadruples (X, E, B, $\~{B}$).

AbstractWe introduce the concept of an E-valued function algebra, a type of Banach algebra that consists of continuous E-valued functions on some compact Hausdorff space, where E is a Banach algebra. We present some basic results about such algebras, having to do with the Shilov boundary and the set of peak points of some commutative E-valued function algebras. We give some specific examples.

AbstractLet C(X) be the space of all continuous complex-valued functions defined on the compact Hausdorff space X. We characterize the M-ideals in a uniform algebra A of C(X) in terms of singular measures. For a Banach function algebra B of C(X) we determine the connection between strong hulls for B and its peak sets. We also show that M(X) the space of complex regular Borel measures on X has no M-ideal.
