Gleason parts and point derivations for uniform algebras with dense invertible group II

Banach Function Algebras with Dense Invertible Group

In [9], Dawson and the second author asked whether or not a Banach function algebra with dense invertible group can have a proper Shilov boundary. We give an example of a uniform algebra showing that this can happen, and investigate the properties of such algebras. We make some remarks on the topological stable rank of commutative, unital Banach algebras. In particular, we prove that tsr(A) ≥ t...

Finite Dimensional Point Derivations for Graph Algebras

This paper focuses on certain finite dimensional point derivations for the non-selfadjoint operator algebras corresponding to directed graphs. We begin by analyzing the derivations corresponding to full matrix representations of the tensor algebra of a directed graph. We determine when such a derivation is inner, and describe situations that give rise to non-inner derivations. We also analyze t...
