Gleason-Kahane-\.Zelazko theorems in function spaces

Abstract

The Gleason-Kahane-\.Zelazko theorem states that a linear functional on a Banach algebra that is non-zero on invertible elements is necessarily a scalar multiple of a character. Recently this theorem has been extended to certain Banach function spaces that are not algebras. In this article we present a brief survey of these extensions.
