The continuity of Lie homomorphisms
We prove that the separating space of a Lie homomorphism from a Banach algebra onto a Banach algebra is contained in the centre modulo the radical.

Let L₀(Ω;A) be the Fréchet space of Bochner-measurable random variables with values in a unital complex Banach algebra A. We study L₀(Ω;A) as a topological algebra, investigating the notion of spectrum in L₀(Ω;A), the Jacobson radical, ideals, hulls and kernels. Several results on automatic continuity of homomorphisms are developed, including versions of well-known theorems of C. Rickart and B. E. Johnson.
