Abstract
We consider the ring of real analytic functions defined on , i.e. In this article, we explore the nature of ideals in this ring. It is well known that the ring of real valued continuous functions on has precisely the following maximal ideals: It has been proved that each such is infinitely generated, in-fact uncountably generated. Observe that is a subring of We prove that for any in , the contraction of under the natural inclusion of in is again a maximal ideal (of ), and these are precisely all the maximal ideals of . Next we prove that each is principal (though is uncountably generated). Surprisingly, this forces all the ideals of the ring to be singly generated, i.e. is a PID.
