| A function algebra is said to vanish at a point p if f(p) = 0 for all <math> (f\in A) </math>. A function algebra separates points if for each distinct pair of points <math> (p,q \in X) </math>, there is a function <math> (f\in A) </math> such that <math> f(p) \neq f(q) </math>.
| |
| | |
| For every <math>x\in X</math> define <math>\varepsilon_x(f)=f(x)\ (f\in A)</math>. Then <math>\varepsilon_x</math>
| |
| is a non-zero homomorphism (character) on <math>A</math>. | |
| | |
| '''Theorem:''' A Banach function algebra is [[semisimple algebra|semisimple]] (that is its [[Jacobson radical]] is equal to zero) and each commutative [[unital ring|unital]], semisimple Banach algebra is [[isomorphic]] (via the [[Gelfand transform]]) to a Banach function algebra on its [[character space]] (the space of algebra homomorphisms from ''A'' into the complex numbers given the [[relative topology|relative]] [[weak* topology]]).
| |
| | |
| If the norm on <math>A</math> is the uniform norm (or sup-norm) on <math>X</math>, then <math>A</math> is called
| |
| a '''uniform algebra'''. Uniform algebras are an important special case of Banach function algebras.
