Norm conditions for real-algebra isomorphisms between uniform algebras

Rumi Shindo (2010)

Open Mathematics

Let A and B be uniform algebras. Suppose that α ≠ 0 and A 1 ⊂ A. Let ρ, τ: A 1 → A and S, T: A 1 → B be mappings. Suppose that ρ(A 1), τ(A 1) and S(A 1), T(A 1) are closed under multiplications and contain expA and expB, respectively. If ‖S(f)T(g) − α‖∞ = ‖ρ(f)τ(g) − α‖∞ for all f, g ∈ A 1, S(e 1)−1 ∈ S(A 1) and S(e 1) ∈ T(A 1) for some e 1 ∈ A 1 with ρ(e 1) = 1, then there exists a real-algebra isomorphism S ˜ : A → B such that S ˜ (ρ(f)) = S(e 1)−1 S(f) for every f ∈ A 1. We also give some applications...

Norm conditions for uniform algebra isomorphisms

Aaron Luttman, Scott Lambert (2008)

Open Mathematics

In recent years much work has been done analyzing maps, not assumed to be linear, between uniform algebras that preserve the norm, spectrum, or subsets of the spectra of algebra elements, and it is shown that such maps must be linear and/or multiplicative. Letting A and B be uniform algebras on compact Hausdorff spaces X and Y, respectively, it is shown here that if λ ∈ ℂ / 0 and T: A → B is a surjective map, not assumed to be linear, satisfying T ( f ) T ( g ) + λ = f g + λ f , g A , then T is an ℝ-linear isometry and there exist an...

Normed algebras of differentiable functions on compact plane sets: completeness and semisimple completions

Heiko Hoffmann (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We continue the study of the completeness and completions of normed algebras of differentiable functions Dⁿ(K) (where K is a perfect, compact plane set), initiated by Bland, Dales and Feinstein [Studia Math. 170 (2005) and Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 41 (2010)]. We prove new characterizations of the completeness of D¹(K) and results concerning the semisimplicity of the completion of D¹(K). In particular, we prove that semi-rectifiability is necessary for the completion of D¹(K) to be semisimple in...

Normed "upper interval" algebras without nontrivial closed subalgebras

C. J. Read (2005)

Studia Mathematica

It is a long standing open problem whether there is any infinite-dimensional commutative Banach algebra without nontrivial closed ideals. This is in some sense the Banach algebraists' counterpart to the invariant subspace problem for Banach spaces. We do not here solve this famous problem, but solve a related problem, that of finding (necessarily commutative) infinite-dimensional normed algebras which do not even have nontrivial closed subalgebras. Our examples are incomplete normed algebras rather...

On a -Kasch spaces

Ali Akbar Estaji, Melvin Henriksen (2010)

Archivum Mathematicum

If X is a Tychonoff space, C ( X ) its ring of real-valued continuous functions. In this paper, we study non-essential ideals in C ( X ) . Let a be a infinite cardinal, then X is called a -Kasch (resp. a ¯ -Kasch) space if given any ideal (resp. z -ideal) I with gen ( I ) < a then I is a non-essential ideal. We show that X is an 0 -Kasch space if and only if X is an almost P -space and X is an 1 -Kasch space if and only if X is a pseudocompact and almost P -space. Let C F ( X ) denote the socle of C ( X ) . For a topological space X with only...
