This article deals with bounding sets in real Banach spaces E with respect to the functions in A(E), the algebra of real analytic functions on E, as well as to various subalgebras of A(E). These bounding sets are shown to be relatively weakly compact and the question whether they are always relatively compact in the norm topology is reduced to the study of the action on the set of unit vectors in of the corresponding functions in . These results are achieved by studying the homomorphisms on the...
Let Ω be an open subset of a real Banach space E and, for 1 ≤ m ≤, let C(Ω) denote the algebra of all m-times continuously Fréchet differentiable real functions defined on Ω. We are concerned here with the question as to wether every nonzero algebra homomorphism φ: C(Ω) → R is given by evaluation at some point of Ω, i.e., if there exists some a ∈ Ω such that φ(f) = f(a) for each f ∈ C(Ω). This problem has been considered in [1,4,5] and [6]. In [6], a positive answer is given in the case that m <...
We shall be concerned in this note with some questions posed by Carne, Cole and Gamelin in [3], involving the weak-polynomial convergence and its relation to the tightness of certain algebras of analytic functions on a Banach space.
This paper is devoted to several questions concerning linearizations of function spaces. We first consider the relation between linearizations of a given space when it is viewed as a function space over different domains. Then we study the problem of characterizing when a Banach function space admits a Banach linearization in a natural way. Finally, we consider the relevance of compactness properties in linearizations, more precisely, the relation between different compactness properties of a mapping,...
In this paper we survey a large part of the results on polynomials on Banach spaces that have been obtained in recent years. We mainly look at how the polynomials behave in connection with certain geometric properties of the spaces.
Suppose that A is an algebra of continuous real functions defined on a topological space X. We shall be concerned here with the problem as to whether every nonzero algebra homomorphism φ: A → R is given by evaluation at some point of X, in the sense that there exists some a in X such that φ(f) = f(a) for every f in A. The problem goes back to the work of Michael [19], motivated by the question of automatic continuity of homomorphisms in a symmetric *-algebra. More recently, the problem has been...
