Swiss cheeses, rational approximation and universal plane curves

J. F. Feinstein, M. J. Heath (2010)

Studia Mathematica

We consider the compact plane sets known as Swiss cheese sets, which are a useful source of examples in the theory of uniform algebras and rational approximation. We develop a theory of allocation maps connected to such sets and we use this theory to modify examples previously constructed in the literature to obtain examples homeomorphic to the Sierpiński carpet. Our techniques also allow us to avoid certain technical difficulties in the literature.

Synthèse et algèbre de multiplicateurs de Re A ( D )

Jacqueline Détraz (1973)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Soit Re A , l’espace de Banach des fonctions continues sur T qui sont parties réelles de fonctions de l’algèbre du disque A ( D ) . On étudie les ensembles de T de synthèse pour Re A et l’algèbre des multiplicateurs de Re A . On en déduit des théorèmes d’approximation dans A ( D ) par des produits de Blaschke.

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 Bourgain algebra of the disk algebra A(𝔻) and the algebra QA

Joseph Cima, Raymond Mortini (1995)

Studia Mathematica

It is shown that the Bourgain algebra A ( ) b of the disk algebra A() with respect to H ( ) is the algebra generated by the Blaschke products having only a finite number of singularities. It is also proved that, with respect to H ( ) , the algebra QA of bounded analytic functions of vanishing mean oscillation is invariant under the Bourgain map as is A ( ) b .

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,...
