Fonctions -lipschitziennes sur un anneau local et polynômes à valeurs entières
The class of elements of locally finite closed descent in a commutative Fréchet algebra is introduced. Using this notion, those commutative Fréchet algebras in which the algebra ℂ[[X]] may be embedded are completely characterized, and some applications to the theory of automatic continuity are given.
We describe all those commutative Fréchet algebras which may be continuously embedded in the algebra ℂ[[X]] in such a way that they contain the polynomials. It is shown that these algebras (except ℂ[[X]] itself) always satisfy a certain equicontinuity condition due to Loy. Using this result, some applications to the theory of automatic continuity are given; in particular, the uniqueness of the Fréchet algebra topology for such algebras is established.
In some recent papers ([1],[2],[3],[4]) we have investigated some general spectral properties of a multiplier defined on a commutative semi-simple Banach algebra. In this paper we expose some aspects concerning the Fredholm theory of multipliers.
It is shown that reducing bands of measures yield decompositions not only of an operator representation itself, but also of its commutant. This has many consequences for commuting Hilbert space representations and for commuting operators on Hilbert spaces. Among other things, it enables one to construct a Lebesgue-type decomposition of several commuting contractions without assuming any von Neumann-type inequality.
In this paper we study the role that unimodular functions play in deciding the uniform boundedness of sets of continuous linear functionals on various function spaces. For instance, inner functions are a UBD-set in H∞ with the weak-star topology.
It is well known that any function algebra has an essential set. In this note we define an essential set for an arbitrary function space (not necessarily algebra) and prove that any function space has an essential set.
Let A be a complex, commutative Banach algebra and let be the structure space of A. Assume that there exists a continuous homomorphism h:L¹(G) → A with dense range, where L¹(G) is a group algebra of the locally compact abelian group G. The main results of this note can be summarized as follows: (a) If every weakly almost periodic functional on A with compact spectra is almost periodic, then the space is scattered (i.e., has no nonempty perfect subset). (b) Weakly almost periodic functionals...
