We prove that certain Banach subalgebras $H$ of $C_b(X)$ are isometrically isomorphic to $C_0(Y)$, for some unique (up to homeomorphism) locally compact Hausdorff space $Y$. The space $Y$ is explicitly constructed as a subspace of the Stone--\\v{C}ech compactification of $X$. The known construction of $Y$ enables us to examine certain properties of either $H$ or $Y$ and derive results not expected to be deducible from the standard Gelfand Theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-12-24T19:23:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54D35", "54D65", "46J10", "46J25", "46E25", "46E15", "54C35", "46H05", "16S60" ], "keywords": [ "banach algebra", "representations", "standard gelfand theory", "locally compact hausdorff space", "banach subalgebras" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.2039K" } } }
