Abstract
For a commutative unital ring , and , let denote the special linear group over , and the subgroup of elementary matrices. Let be the Banach algebra of all complex Borel measures on with the norm given by the total variation, the usual operations of addition and scalar multiplication, and with convolution. It is shown that for Banach subalgebras of that are closed under the operation , , where for , and Borel subsets of , and , where is the Dirac measure. Many illustrative examples of such Banach algebras are given. An example of a Banach subalgebra , that does not possess the closure property above, but for which neverthess holds, is also given.
