On existence of hyperinvariant subspaces for linear maps.
We present here some evidence of the activity of Banach Lwów School of functional analysis in the field of topological algebras. We shall list several results connected with such names as Stanisław Mazur (1905-1981), Maks (Meier) Eidelheit (1910-1943), Stefan Banach (1892-1945) and Andrzej Turowicz (1904-1989) showing that if the war had not interrupted this activity we could expect more interesting results in this direction.
I construct a unital closed subalgebra of with the property announced in the title. Moreover, for any two maxiamal abelian subalgebras of the algebra in question, their intersection consists only of scalar multiples of the unity.
Properties of topologically invertible elements and the topological spectrum of elements in unital semitopological algebras are studied. It is shown that the inversion is continuous in every invertive Fréchet algebra, and singly generated unital semitopological algebras have continuous characters if and only if the topological spectrum of the generator is non-empty. Several open problems are presented.
