In this paper we show that if A is a unital Banach algebra and B is a purely innite C*-algebra such that has a non-zero commutative maximal ideal and $phi:A rightarrow B$ is a unital surjective spectrum preserving linear map. Then $phi$ is a Jordan homomorphism.

It is a famous conjecture that every derivation on each Banach algebra leaves every primitive ideal of the algebra invariant. This conjecture is known to be true if, in addition, the derivation is assumed to be continuous. It is also known to be true if the algebra is commutative, in which case the derivation necessarily maps into the (Jacobson) radical. Because I. M. Singer and J. Wermer origi...

Let B be a strictly real commutative real Banach algebra with the carrier space Φ B. If A is a commutative real Banach algebra, then we give a representation of a ring homomorphism ρ : A → B, which needs not be linear nor continuous. If A is a commutative complex Banach algebra, then ρ(A) is contained in the radical of B. 1. Introduction and results. Ring homomorphisms are mappings between two ...

We establish a necessary condition for a commutative Banach algebra A so that there exists a homomorphism θ from A into another Banach algebra such that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of θ is not a finite intersection of prime ideals in A. We prove that the prime radical of the continuity ideal of an epimorphism from A onto another Banach algebra (or of a derivation from A into a Ban...

In this paper we defined the concept of module amenability of Banach algebras and module connes amenability of module dual Banach algebras.Also we assert the concept of module Arens regularity that is different with [1] and investigate the relation between module amenability of Banach algebras and connes module amenability of module second dual Banach algebras.In the following we studythe...

The aim of this notes is to provide basic information about commutative Banach algebras. The final goal is to show that a unital, commutative complex Banach algebra A can be embedded as subalgebra of C(MA), the algebra of continuous functions on a w∗-compact setMA, known as the maximal ideal space or character space. Also, the non unital commutative complex Banach algebra can be embedded as a s...

We develop results which show that elements in the radical of a commutative Banach algebra are often precluded from having prime-like properties if we avoid certain exceptional situations involving torsion elements. This makes the proof of the Singer-Wermer conjecture conceptually much clearer. It also motivates the de nition of an element having regular powers and allows us to strengthen our p...

Suppose that $A$ is a semi-simple and commutative Banach algebra. In this paper we try to characterize the character space of the Banach algebra $C_{rm{BSE}}(Delta(A))$ consisting of all  BSE-functions on $Delta(A)$ where $Delta(A)$ denotes the character space of $A$. Indeed, in the case that $A=C_0(X)$ where $X$ is a non-empty locally compact Hausdroff space, we give a complete characterizatio...

This note is devoted to the study of geometric properties and the relationships between a projective space and an exponential class, both naturally associated with the positive elements in a commutative Banach algebra. Even though the motivating problem consists of understanding the geometry of the class of densities with respect to a given measure, the formulation can be carried out in general...

Here, it is observe that ΛBV (p)(σ,B), the class of functions of bounded p−Λ− variation from a non-empty compact subset σ of R into a commutative unital Banach algebra B, is a commutative unital Banach algebra. Moreover, (Λ1, ...,ΛN )∗BV (Πi=1σi,B), the class of N−variables functions of bounded p−(Λ1, ...,ΛN )∗−variation from Πi=1σi into B, is a Banach space, where σi are non-empty compact subs...
