in this article‎, ‎we have characterized ideals in $c(x)$ in which‎ ‎every ideal is also an ideal (a $z$-ideal) of $c(x)$‎. ‎motivated by‎ ‎this characterization‎, ‎we observe that $c_infty(x)$ is a regular‎ ‎ring if and only if every open locally compact $sigma$-compact‎ ‎subset of $x$ is finite‎. ‎concerning prime ideals‎, ‎it is shown that‎ ‎the sum of every two prime (semiprime) ideals of e...

It is well known that the set of all ideals(2) of a ring forms a complete modular lattice with respect to set inclusion. The same is true of the set of all right ideals. Our purpose in this paper is to consider the consequences of imposing certain additional restrictions on these ideal lattices. In particular, we discuss the case in which one or both of these lattices is complemented, and the c...

2. Primary ideals in C(X). C(X) denotes the ring of real-valued continuous functions on the topological space X, under ordinary pointwise addition and multiplication. By a primary ideal we mean an ideal which is contained in at most one maximal ideal. An O-ideal is an ideal / such that for each pair/i,/2G/ there exists eEI, depending on/i and f2, such that/<«=/.-, for i = l, 2 [7; 4]. A prime-l...

Let K and X be compact plane sets such that K X. Let P(K)be the uniform closure of polynomials on K. Let R(K) be the closure of rationalfunctions K with poles o K. Dene P(X;K) and R(X;K) to be the uniformalgebras of functions in C(X) whose restriction to K belongs to P(K) and R(K),respectively. Let CZ(X;K) be the Banach algebra of functions f in C(X) suchthat fjK = 0. In this paper, we show th...
