The structure of ideals in the Banach algebra of Lipschitz functions over valued fields
Some topologies on the space Id(A) of two-sided and closed ideals of a Banach algebra are introduced and investigated. One of the topologies, namely , coincides with the so-called strong topology if A is a C*-algebra. We prove that for a separable Banach algebra coincides with a weaker topology when restricted to the space Min-Primal(A) of minimal closed primal ideals and that Min-Primal(A) is a Polish space if is Hausdorff; this generalizes results from [1] and [5]. All subspaces of Id(A)...
Pseudoconvex domains are exhausted in such a way that we keep a part of the boundary fixed in all the domains of the exhaustion. This is used to solve a problem concerning whether the generators for the ideal of either the holomorphic functions continuous up to the boundary or the bounded holomorphic functions, vanishing at a point in where the fibre is nontrivial, has to exceed . This is shown not to be the case.
For a function algebra A let ∂A be the Shilov boundary, δA the Choquet boundary, p(A) the set of p-points, and |A| = |f|: f ∈ A. Let X and Y be locally compact Hausdorff spaces and A ⊂ C(X) and B ⊂ C(Y) be dense subalgebras of function algebras without units, such that X = ∂A, Y = ∂B and p(A) = δA, p(B) = δB. We show that if Φ: |A| → |B| is an increasing bijection which is sup-norm-multiplicative, i.e. ||Φ(|f|)Φ(|g|)|| = ||fg||, f,g ∈ A, then there is a homeomorphism ψ: p(B) → p(A) with respect...
We show that if ϕ is a continuous homomorphism between weighted convolution algebras on ℝ⁺, then its extension to the corresponding measure algebras is always weak* continuous. A key step in the proof is showing that our earlier result that normalized powers of functions in a convolution algebra on ℝ⁺ go to zero weak* is also true for most measures in the corresponding measure algebra. For some algebras, we can determine precisely which measures have normalized powers converging to zero weak*. We...
Let G be a locally compact group, K a compact subgroup of G and A(G/K) the Fourier algebra of the coset space G/K. Applying results from [E. Kaniuth, Weak spectral synthesis in commutative Banach algebras, J. Funct. Anal. 254 (2008), 987-1002], we establish injection and localization theorems relating weak spectral sets and weak Ditkin sets for A(G/K) to such sets for A(H/H ∩ K), where H is a closed subgroup of G. We also prove some results towards the analogue of Malliavin's theorem for weak spectral...
It is shown that if G is a weakly amenable unimodular group then the Banach algebra , where is the Figà-Talamanca-Herz Banach algebra of G, is a dual Banach space with the Radon-Nikodym property if 1 ≤ r ≤ max(p,p’). This does not hold if p = 2 and r > 2.
