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…

In this article we introduce the zero-divisor graphs $\Gamma_\mathscr{P}(X)$ and $\Gamma^\mathscr{P}_\infty(X)$ of the two rings $C_\mathscr{P}(X)$ and $C^\mathscr{P}_\infty(X)$; here $\mathscr{P}$ is an ideal of closed sets in $X$ and…

We introduce and investigate a class of ring ideals, termed ring $\mathrm{M}$-ideals, inspired by the Alfsen--Effros theory of $\mathrm{M}$-ideals in Banach spaces. We show that $\mathrm{M}$-ideals extend the classical notion of essential…

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…

In this article, we continue our study of Baire one functions on a topological space $X$, denoted by $B_1(X)$ and extend the well known M. H. Stones's theorem from $C(X)$ to $B_1(X)$. Introducing the structure space of $B_1(X)$, it is…

We consider the ring of real analytic functions defined on $[0,1]$, i.e. $$C^{\omega}[0,1] =\lbrace f :[0,1] \longrightarrow \mathbb{R} | f \text{ is analytic on } [0,1]\rbrace$$ In this article, we explore the nature of ideals in this…

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…

For a Tychonoff space $X$ and a family $\lambda$ of subsets of $X$, we denote by $C_{\lambda}(X)$ the space of all real-valued continuous functions on $X$ with the set-open topology. In this paper, we study the Menger and projective Menger…

For a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$ and a $C^*$-algebra $A$ with only finitely many closed ideals, we discuss a characterization of closed ideals of $C_0(X,A) $ in terms of closed ideals of $A$ and certain (compatible) closed…

The aim of this paper is to give an algebraic characterization of the rings $C(X,\mathbb{Q}_p)$ of all continuous $\mathbb{Q}_p$-valued functions on a compact space $X$. The characterization is similar to that of M. Stone from 1940 for the…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces such that the ideal of operators which factor through $Y$ has codimension one in the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(X)$ of all bounded operators on $X$, and suppose that $Y$ contains a complemented subspace…

Suppose that $\mathcal{C}$ is the space of all middle Cantor sets. We characterize all triples $(\alpha,~\beta,~\lambda)\in \mathcal{C}\times\mathcal{C}\times \mathbb{R}^*$ that satisfy $C_\alpha- \lambda C_\beta=[-\lambda,~1]. $ Also all…

Let $\mathcal{Z(R)}$ be the set of zero divisor elements of a commutative ring $R$ with identity and $\mathcal{M}$ be the space of minimal prime ideals of $R$ with Zariski topology. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is called strongly dense ideal or…

For a compactification $\alpha X$ of a Tychonoff space $X$, the algebra of all functions $f\in C(X)$ that are continuously extendable over $% \alpha X$ is denoted by $C_{\alpha}(X)$. It is shown that, in a model of $\textbf{ZF}$, it may…

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…

In this paper, replacing `equality' by 'equality almost everywhere' we modify several terms associated with the ring of measurable functions defined on a measure space $(X, \mathcal{A}, \mu)$ and thereby study the graph theoretic features…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a Zariski-like topology on the spectrum of all proper ideals of a ring. We show that the space is T_0, quasi-compact, and every irreducible closed subset has a unique generic point. Furthermore,…

Let C(K) denote the Banach algebra of continuous real functions, with the supremum norm, on a compact Hausdorff space K. For two subsets of C(K), one can define their product by pointwise multiplication, just as the Minkowski sum of the…
