Homomorphisms of commutative Banach algebras and extensions to multiplier algebras with applications to Fourier algebras
Let A and B be semisimple commutative Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities. We investigate the problem of extending a homomorphism φ: A → B to a homomorphism of the multiplier algebras M(A) and M(B) of A and B, respectively. Various sufficient conditions in terms of B (or B and φ) are given that allow the construction of such extensions. We exhibit a number of classes of Banach algebras to which these criteria apply. In addition, we prove a polar decomposition for homomorphisms from...
Homotonic algebras
An algebra 𝓐 of real- or complex-valued functions defined on a set T shall be called homotonic if 𝓐 is closed under taking absolute values, and for all f and g in 𝓐, the product f × g satisfies |f × g| ≤ |f| × |g|. Our main purpose in this paper is two-fold: to show that the above definition is equivalent to an earlier definition of homotonicity, and to provide a simple inequality which characterizes submultiplicativity and strong stability for weighted sup norms on homotonic algebras.
