For a completely regular space $X$ and a non-vanishing self-adjoint closed subalgebra $H$ of $C_B(X)$ which separates points from closed sets in $X$ we construct the Gelfand spectrum $\mathfrak{sp}(H)$ of $H$ as an open subspace of the…

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…

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 $H$…

For a completely regular space $X$, let $C_B(X)$ be the normed algebra of all bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm and let $C_0(X)$ be its subalgebra…

We construct a totally disconnected compact Hausdorff space N which has clopen subsets M included in L included in N such that N is homeomorphic to M and hence C(N) is isometric as a Banach space to C(M) but C(N) is not isomorphic to C(L).…

We show that for a normal locally-${\mathscr P}$ space $X$ (where ${\mathscr P}$ is a topological property subject to some mild requirements) the subset $C_{\mathscr P}(X)$ of $C_b(X)$ consisting of those elements whose support has a…

Assuming Jensen's diamond principle ($\diamondsuit$) we construct for every natural number $n>0$ a compact Hausdorff space $K$ such that whenever the Banach spaces $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic for some compact Hausdorff $L$, then the…

We prove that for a compact subgroup $H$ of a locally compact Hausdorff group $G$, the following properties are mutually equivalent: (1) $G/H$ is a manifold, (2) $G/H$ is finite-dimensional and locally connected, (3) $G/H$ is locally…

It is shown that variants of the HI methods could yield objects closely connected to the classical Banach spaces. Thus we present a new $c_0$ saturated space, denoted as $\mathfrak{X}_0$, with rather tight structure. The space…

We define and study the concept of commutative Banach perfect semi-field of characteristic 1 by using results from Connes-Consani. We prove a Gelfand-Naimark type theorem allowing to identify such a Banach semi-field F to the semi-field of…

It is shown that if $C$ is a nonempty convex and weakly compact subset of a Banach space $X$ with $M(X)>1$ and $T:C\rightarrow C$ satisfies condition $(C)$ or is continuous and satisfies condition $(C_{\lambda})$ for some $\lambda \in…

We study the Banach algebras ${\rm C}(X, R)$ of continuous functions from a compact Hausdorff topological space $X$ to a Banach ring $R$ whose topology is discrete. We prove that the Berkovich spectrum of ${\rm C}(X, R)$ is homeomorphic to…

Let $H$ be a real algebraic group acting equivariantly with finitely many orbits on a real algebraic manifold $X$ and a real algebraic bundle $\mathcal{E}$ on $X$. Let $\mathfrak{h}$ be the Lie algebra of $H$. Let…

A hereditarily indecomposable Banach space $\mathfrak{X}_{\mathfrak{nr}}$ is constructed that is the first known example of a $\mathscr{L}_\infty$-space not containing $c_0$, $\ell_1$, or reflexive subspaces and answers a question posed by…

Let $K$ be a Hausdorff space and $C_b(K)$ be the Banach algebra of all complex bounded continuous functions on $K$. We study the G\^{a}teaux and Fr\'echet differentiability of subspaces of $C_b(K)$. Using this, we show that the set of all…

The density property for a Stein manifold X implies that the group of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of X is infinite-dimensional and, in a certain well-defined sense, as large as possible. We prove that if G is a complex semisimple Lie group…
