The Banach algebra of continuous bounded functions with separable support

M. R. Koushesh (2012)

Studia Mathematica

We prove a commutative Gelfand-Naimark type theorem, by showing that the set C s ( X ) of continuous bounded (real or complex valued) functions with separable support on a locally separable metrizable space X (provided with the supremum norm) is a Banach algebra, isometrically isomorphic to C₀(Y) for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space Y. The space Y, which we explicitly construct as a subspace of the Stone-Čech compactification of X, is countably compact, and if X is non-separable,...

The Complex Stone-Weierstrass Property

Kenneth Kunen (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

The compact Hausdorff space X has the CSWP iff every subalgebra of C(X,ℂ) which separates points and contains the constant functions is dense in C(X,ℂ). Results of W. Rudin (1956) and Hoffman and Singer (1960) show that all scattered X have the CSWP and many non-scattered X fail the CSWP, but it was left open whether having the CSWP is just equivalent to being scattered. Here, we prove some general facts about the CSWP; in particular we show that if X is a compact ordered space,...

The weak Phillips property

Ali Ülger (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let X be a Banach space. If the natural projection p:X*** → X* is sequentially weak*-weak continuous then the space X is said to have the weak Phillips property. We present several characterizations of the spaces having this property and study its relationships to other Banach space properties, especially the Grothendieck property.

Theorems of Korovkin type for adapted spaces

Heinz Bauer (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

It is shown that the methods developed in an earlier paper of the author about a Dirichlet problem for the Silov boundary [Annales Inst. Fourier, 11 (1961)] lead in a new and natural way to the most important results about the convergence of positive linear operators on spaces of continuous functions defined on a compact space. Choquet’s notion of an adapted space of continuous functions in connection with results of Mokobodzki-Sibony opens the possibility of extending these results to the case...

Trivial Jensen measures without regularity

J. F. Feinstein (2001)

Studia Mathematica

In this note we construct Swiss cheeses X such that R(X) is non-regular but such that R(X) has no non-trivial Jensen measures. We also construct a non-regular uniform algebra with compact, metrizable character space such that every point of the character space is a peak point.
