We show that among compact subsets of the plane which are drawings of linear graphs, two sets $\sigma$ and $\tau$ are homeomorphic if and only if the corresponding spaces of absolutely continuous functions (in the sense of Ashton and Doust)…

It is known that the classical Banach--Stone theorem does not extend to the class of $AC(\sigma)$ spaces of absolutely continuous functions defined on compact subsets of the complex plane. On the other hand, if $\sigma$ is restricted to the…

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the properties of a compact set $\sigma \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ and the structure of the space $BV(\sigma)$ of functions of bounded variation (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) defined on…

Given a Banach algebra $ \mathcal{A} $ and a continuous homomorphism $\sigma$ on it, the notion of $\sigma$-biflatness for $ \mathcal{A} $ is introduced. This is a generalization of biflatness and it is shown that they are distinct. The…

The \emph{shift map} $\sigma$ is the self-homeomorphism of $\omega^* = \beta\omega \setminus \omega$ induced by the successor function $n \mapsto n+1$ on $\omega$. We prove that the isomorphism classes of $\sigma$ and $\sigma^{-1}$ cannot…

For certain families of compact subsets of the plane, the isomorphism class of the algebra of absolutely continuous functions on a set is completely determined by the homeomorphism class of the set. This is analogous to the…

The classical theorems of Banach and Stone, Gelfand and Kolmogorov, and Kaplansky show that a compact Hausdorff space $X$ is uniquely determined by the linear isometric structure, the algebraic structure, and the lattice structure,…

For a nonempty compact subset $\sigma$ in the plane, the space $AC(\sigma)$ is the closure of the space of complex polynomials in two real variables under a particular variation norm. In the classical setting, $AC[0,1]$ contains several…

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…

We deal with isomorphic Banach-Stone type theorems for closed subspaces of vector-valued continuous functions. Let $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For $i=1,2$, let $E_i$ be a reflexive Banach space over $\mathbb{F}$ with a certain…

we prove that if $X$ is a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space then on its quotient, $\gamma(X)$ say, determined by the algebra of all real valued bounded continuous functions on $X$, the quotient topology and the completely regular…

Let $f$ and $g$ be scalar-valued, continuous functions on some topological space. We say that $g$ dominates $f$ in the compatibility ordering if $g$ coincides with $f$ on the support of $f$. We prove that two compact Hausdorff spaces are…

We prove that any convex-like structure in the sense of Nate Brown is affinely and isometrically isomorphic to a closed convex subset of a Banach space. This answers an open question of Brown. As an intermediate step, we identify Brown's…

One important class of tools in the study of the connections between algebraic and topological structures are the "Banach-Stone type theorems", which describe algebraic isomorphisms of algebras (or groups, lattices, etc.) of functions in…

It is an open problem whether one can always extend an absolutely continuous function (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) on a compact subset of the plane to a larger compact set. In this paper we show that this can be done for a large…

We study the general form of isomorphisms on the algebra of compactly supported complex-valued continuous functions defined on a locally compact Hausdorff space (the proof of which works for the algebra of $C^k-$differentiable functions on…

For a space $X$ denote by $C_b(X)$ the Banach algebra of all continuous bounded scalar-valued functions on $X$ and denote by $C_0(X)$ the set of all elements in $C_b(X)$ which vanish at infinity. We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$…

Following a result of Hatori, Miura and Tagaki ([4]) we give here a spectral characterization of an isomorphism from a $C^\star$-algebra onto a Banach algebra. We then use this result to show that a $C^\star$-algebra $A$ is isomorphic to a…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be compact Hausdorff spaces, and let $C(X)$ and $C(Y)$ denote the commutative Banach algebras of all continuous complex-valued functions on $X$ and $Y$, respectively. We study bijective maps $T$ from $C(X)$ onto $C(Y)$ which…

The spaces $BV(\sigma)$ and $AC(\sigma)$ were introduced as part of a program to find a general theory which covers both well-bounded operators and trigonometrically well-bounded operators acting on a Banach space. Since their initial…
