In the early nineties, R. M. Aron, B. Cole, T. Gamelin and W.B. Johnson initiated the study of the maximal ideal space (spectrum) of Banach algebras of holomorphic functions defined on the open unit ball of an infinite dimensional complex…

Let $M(H^\infty)$ be the maximal ideal space of the Banach algebra $H^\infty$ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $\mathbb D\subset\mathbb C$. We prove that $M(H^\infty)$ is homeomorphic to the Freudenthal compactification…

We characterize the algebra $H^\infty \circ L_{m}$, where $m$ is a point of the maximal ideal space of $H^\infty$ with nontrivial Gleason part $P(m)$ and $L_{m} : \mathbb{D}\to P(m)$ is the coordinate Hoffman map. In particular, it is shown…

The classical Grauert and Ramspott theorems constitute the foundation of the Oka principle on Stein spaces. In this paper we establish analogous results on the maximal ideal space $M(H^\infty)$ of the Banach algebra $H^\infty$ of bounded…

Let V be a bounded, connected linearly convex set in C^n with $C^{1+\epsilon}$-boundary. We show that the maximal ideal (both in A(V) and $H^{\infty}(V)$) consisting of all functions vanishing at p in V is generated by the coordinate…

We study the structure of the spectrum of the algebra of uniformly continuous holomorphic functions on the unit ball of $\ell_p$. Our main focus is the relationship between \emph{Gleason parts} and \emph{fibers}. For every $z \in…

Let $\mathscr{H}^\infty$ be the set of all Dirichlet series $f=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n^s}$ (where $a_n\in \mathbb{C}$ for each $n$) that converge at each $s\in {\mathbb{C}}_+$, such that $\|f\|_{\infty}:=\sup_{s\in…

We study the corona problem on the unit ball and the unit polydisc in $\CC^n$. We provide affirmative solutions to both problems.

Let V be a bounded pseudoconvex Reinhardt domain in C^2 with many strictly pseudoconvex points and logarithmic image W. It was known that the maximal ideal in $H^{\infty}(V)$ consisting of all functions vanishing at (p,q) in V is generated…

We study biorthogonal sequences with special properties, such as weak or weak-star convergence to 0, and obtain an extension of the Josefson-Nissenzweig theorem. This result is applied to embed analytic disks in the fiber over 0 of the…

We introduce two Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as moduli which measure, for a given Banach space, what is the best possible Bishop-Phelps-Bollob\'as theorem in this space. We show that there is a common upper bound for these moduli for all Banach…

We investigate the extremal properties of the unit ball of $L(X)_w^*$, the dual space of bounded linear operators defined on a Banach space $X$ equipped with the numerical radius norm. As an application of the present study, we obtain a…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We prove that the augmentation ideal in $L^1(G)$ is (algebraically) finitely-generated as a left ideal if and only if $G$ is finite. We then investigate weighted versions of this result, as well as a…

This article intends to initiate an investigation into the structure of $M$-ideals in $H^\infty(\mathbb{D})$, where $H^\infty(\mathbb{D})$ denotes the Banach algebra of all bounded analytic functions on the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ in…

We study problems of maximal symmetry in Banach spaces. This is done by providing an analysis of the structure of small subgroups of the general linear group GL(X), where X is a separable reflexive Banach space. In particular, we provide…

In this paper, we present maximal and area integral characterizations of Bergman spaces in the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^n.$ The characterizations are in terms of maximal functions and area integral functions on Bergman balls involving the…

We study the complementation (in $\ell_\infty$) of the Banach space $c_{0,\mathcal{I}}$, consisting of all bounded sequences $(x_n)$ that $\mathcal{I}$-converge to $0$, endowed with the supremum norm, where $\mathcal{I}$ is an ideal of…
