ULTRASEPARABILITY OF CERTAIN FUNCTION ALGEBRAS

ULTRASEPARABILITY OF CERTAIN FUNCTION ALGEBRAS

Throughout this paper, let X be a compact Hausdorff space, and let C(X) (resp. $C_{R}$ /(X)) be the complex (resp. real) Banach algebra of all continuous complex-valued (resp. real-valued) functions on X with the pointwise operations and the supremum norm x. A Banach function algebra on X is a Banach algebra lying in C(X) which separates the points of X and contains the constants. A Banach function algebra on X equipped with the supremum norm is called a uniform algebra on X, that is, a uniformly closed subalgebra of C(X) which separates the points of X and contains the constants.(omitted)
