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 paper describes homomorphisms between Douglas algebras and some semisimple Banach algebras. The main tool is a result on the structure of the space $C(Z,\mathfrak M)$ of continuous mappings from a connected first-countable $T_1$ space…

We study the maximal ideal space of $H^\infty(B)$, where $B$ is the unit ball of $\CC^n$. Following the lead of Gleason and Schark, we analyze Gleason parts, fibers, the S\u{\i}lov boundary, and other aspects of this Banach algebra. Our…

We study the structure of the maximal ideal space $M(H^{\infty})$ of the algebra $H^{\infty}=H^{\infty}(\Di)$ of bounded analytic functions defined on the open unit disk $\Di\subset\Co$. Based on the fact that $dim\ M(H^{\infty})=2$ we…

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…

In this paper we study the ideal amenability of Banach algebras. Let $\cal A$ be a Banach algebra and let $I$ be a closed two-sided ideal in $\cal A$, $\cal A$ is $I$-weakly amenable if $H^{1}({\cal A},I^*)=\{0\}$. Further, $\cal A$ is…

We strengthen, in various directions, the theorem of Garnett that every $\sigma$-compact, completely regular space $X$ occurs as a Gleason part for some uniform algebra. In particular, we show that the uniform algebra can always be chosen…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

It is shown that if $A$ is a unital commutative Banach algebra with a dense set of invertible elements, then the maximal ideal space of $A$ contains no compact, locally connected, simply coconnected subspace of topological dimension $\geq…

Associated to a nonzero homomorphism $\varphi$ of a Banach algebra $A$, we regard special functionals, say $m_\varphi$, on certain subspaces of $A^\ast$ which provide equivalent statements to the existence of a bounded right approximate…

This paper is devoted to studying certain topological properties of the maximal ideal space of the measure algebra on the circle group. In particular, we focus on Cech cohomologies of this space. Moreover, we show that the Gelfand space of…

For a locally compact group $G$ and a compact subgroup $H$, we show that the Banach space $M(G/H)$ may be considered as a quotient space of $M(G)$. Also, we define a convolution on $M(G/H)$ which makes it into a Banach algebra. It may be…
