On a covering group theorem and its applications.
If is a Tychonoff space, its ring of real-valued continuous functions. In this paper, we study non-essential ideals in . Let be a infinite cardinal, then is called -Kasch (resp. -Kasch) space if given any ideal (resp. -ideal) with then is a non-essential ideal. We show that is an -Kasch space if and only if is an almost -space and is an -Kasch space if and only if is a pseudocompact and almost -space. Let denote the socle of . For a topological space with only...
Given Banach algebras A and B with spectrum σ(B) ≠ ∅, and given θ ∈ σ(B), we define a product , which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of B by A. We obtain characterizations of bounded approximate identities, spectrum, topological center, minimal idempotents, and study the ideal structure of these products. By assuming B to be a Banach algebra in ₀(X) whose spectrum can be identified with X, we apply our results to harmonic analysis, and study the question of spectral synthesis,...
We develop the theory of Segal algebras of commutative C*-algebras, with an emphasis on the functional representation. Our main results extend the Gelfand-Naimark Theorem. As an application, we describe faithful principal ideals of C*-algebras. A key ingredient in our approach is the use of Nachbin algebras to generalize the Gelfand representation theory.
In the present note, we characterize the essential set of a function algebra defined on a compact Hausdorff space in terms of its orthogonal measures on .
We introduce and examine the notion of dense weak openness. In particular we show that multiplication in C(X) is densely weakly open whenever X is an interval in ℝ.
