We consider a class F of entire Dirichlet series in n variables, whose coefficients belong to a commutative Banach algebra E. With a well defined norm, F is proved to be a Banach algebra with identity. Further results on quasi-invertibility, spectrum and continuous linear functionals are proved for elements belonging to F.

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with identity 1 over the complex field C, and let d0 be a character on A. We recall that a (higher) point derivation of order q on A at d0 is a sequence d1, …, dq of linear functionals on A such that the identitieshold for each choice of f and g in A and k in {1, …, q}. A point derivation of infinite order is an infinite sequence {dk} of linear functionals such that (1.1) holds for all k. A point derivation is continuous if each dk is continuous, totally discontinuous if dk is discontinuous for each k≧1, and degenerate if d1 = 0.

We prove that each surjective Jordan homomorphism from a Banach algebra [Formula: see text] onto a semiprime commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a homomorphism, and each 5-Jordan homomorphism from a unital Banach algebra [Formula: see text] into a semisimple commutative Banach algebra [Formula: see text] is a 5-homomorphism.

This paper is concerned with a generalization of some recent theorems of Hausner (1) and Johnson (4; 5). Their result can be summarized as follows: Let G be a locally compact abelian group, A a commutative Banach algebra, B1 = Bl(G,A) the (commutative Banach) algebra of A-valued, Bochner integrable junctions on G, 3m1the maximal ideal space of A, m2the maximal ideal space of L1(G) [the [commutative Banach] algebra of complex-valued, Haar integrable functions on G, m3the maximal ideal space of B1. Then m3and the Cartesian product m1 X m2are homeomorphic when the spaces mi, i = 1, 2, 3, are given their weak* topologies. Furthermore, the association between m3and m1 X m2is such as to permit a description of any epimorphism E3: B1 → B1/m3 in terms of related epimorphisms E1: A → A/M1 and E2:L1(G) → Ll(G)/M2, where M1 is in mi i = 1, 2, 3.

LetXbe a Banach module over the commutative Banach algebraAwith maximal ideal spaceΔ. We show that there is a norm-decreasing representation ofXas a space of bounded sections in a Banach bundleπ:ℰ→Δ, whose fibers are quotient modules ofX. There is also a representation ofM(X), the space of multipliersT:A→X, as a space of sections in the same bundle, but this representation may not be continuous. These sectional representations subsume results of various authors over the past three decades.

Some results about inversion formula of functional operator with generalized dilation are given. By means of commutative Banach algebra theory the explicit form of inversion operator is expressed. Some commutative Banach algebras with countable generator systems are constructed, their maximal ideal spaces are investigated.

AbstractA new proof of a product formula for Laguerre polynomials, due originally to Watson, is given. Considering the commutative Banach algebra of radial functions on the Heisenberg groups Hn, n ≧ 2, we observe that Watson's formula holds for z = 1,2, 3, …. Then, applying a complex function theory argument, we establish the validity of this formula for other complex values of z, i.e. for Re z > - 1/2.

We consider the problem of amenability for a commutative Banach algebra. The question of amenability for a Banach algebra was first studied by B. E. Johnson in 1972, in [5]. The most recent contributions, to our knowledge, are papers by Bade, Curtis and Dales [1], and by Curtis and Loy [3]. In the first, amenability for Lipschitz algebras on a compact metric space K is studied. Using the fact, which they prove, that LipαK is isometrically isomorphic to the second dual of lipαK, for 0 < α < 1, they show that lipαK is not amenable when K is infinite and 0 < α < 1. In the second paper, the authors prove, without using any serious cohomology theory, some results proved earlier by Khelemskii and Scheinberg [8] using cohomology. They also discuss the amenability of Lipschitz algebras, using the result that a weakly complemented closed two-sided ideal in an amenable Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity. Their result is stronger than that of [1].
