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 characterization of $\\Delta(C_{\\rm{BSE}}(\\Delta(A)))$ and in the general case we give a partial answer. Also, using the Fourier algebra, we show that $C_{\\rm{BSE}}(\\Delta(A))$ is not a $C^*$-algebra in general. Finally for some subsets $E$ of $A^*$, we define the subspace of BSE-like functions on $\\Delta(A)\\cup E$ and give a nice application of this space related to Goldstine's theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-16T08:42:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46H05", "46J10" ], "keywords": [ "character space", "bse-functions", "non-empty locally compact hausdroff space", "commutative banach algebra", "goldstines theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
