Spectrum of certain Banach algebras and ∂̅-problems
We study the spectrum of certain Banach algebras of holomorphic functions defined on a domain Ω where ∂̅-problems with certain estimates can be solved. We show that the projection of the spectrum onto ℂⁿ equals Ω̅ and that the fibers over Ω are trivial. This is used to solve a corona problem in the special case where all but one generator are continuous up to the boundary.
