Let A be a unital Banach function algebra with character space Φ A . For x ∈ Φ A , let M x and J x be the ideals of functions vanishing at x and in a neighbourhood of x, respectively. It is shown that the hull of J x is connected, and that if x does not belong to the Shilov boundary of A then the set y ∈ Φ A : M x ⊇ J y has an infinite connected subset. Various related results are given.

AB - Let A be a unital Banach function algebra with character space $Φ_{A}$. For $x ∈ Φ_{A}$, let $M_{x}$ and $J_{x}$ be the ideals of functions vanishing at x and in a neighbourhood of x, respectively. It is shown that the hull of $J_{x}$ is connected, and that if x does not belong to the Shilov boundary of A then the set ${y ∈ Φ_{A}: M_{x} ⊇ J_{y}}$ has an infinite connected subset. Various related results are given.
