We study closed ideals $H$ of $C_B(X)$, the normed algebra of bounded continuous scalar-valued mappings on $X$ equipped with pointwise addition and multiplication and the supremum norm, which are non-vanishing, in the sense that, there is no point of $X$ at which every element of $H$ vanishes. This is done by studying the (unique) locally compact Hausdorff space $Y$ associated to $H$ in such a way that $H$ and $C_0(Y)$ are isometrically isomorphic. We are interested in various connectedness properties of $Y$. In particular, we present necessary and sufficient (algebraic) conditions for $H$ such that $Y$ satisfies (topological) properties such as locally connectedness, total disconnectedness, zero-dimensionality, strong zero-dimensionality, total separatedness or extremal disconnectedness.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-22T16:04:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "closed non-vanishing ideals", "locally compact hausdorff space", "strong zero-dimensionality", "study closed ideals", "total disconnectedness" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
