AbstractIn this paper we introduce a nested family of spaces of continuous functions defined on the spectrum of a uniform algebra. The smallest space in the family is the uniform algebra itself. In the “finite dimensional” case, from some point on the spaces will be the space of all continuous complex-valued functions on the spectrum. These spaces are defined in terms of solutions to the nonlinear Cauchy–Riemann equations as introduced by the author in 1976, so they are not generally linear spaces of functions. However, these spaces do shed light on the higher dimensional properties of a uniform algebra. In particular, these spaces are directly related to the generalized Shilov boundary of the uniform algebra (as defined by the author and, independently, by Sibony in the early 1970s).

SynopsisLet S be a compact subset of the open unit disc in C. Associate to S the setLet R(X) be the uniform algebra on X generated by the rational functions which are holomorphic near X. It is shown that the spectrum of R(X) is determined in a simple wayby the potential-theoretic properties of S. In particular, the spectrum of R(X) is X if and only if the functions harmonic near S are uniformly dense in the continuous functions on S. Similar results can be obtained for other subsets of C2 constructed from compact subsets of C.

Abstract We strengthen, in various directions, the theorem of Garnett that every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}$ -compact, completely regular space $X$ occurs as a Gleason part for some uniform algebra. In particular, we show that the uniform algebra can always be chosen so that its maximal ideal space contains no analytic discs. We show that when the space $X$ is metrizable, the uniform algebra can be chosen so that its maximal ideal space is metrizable as well. We also show that for every locally compact subspace $X$ of a Euclidean space, there is a compact set $K$ in some $\mathbb{C}^{N}$ so that $\widehat{K}\backslash K$ contains a Gleason part homeomorphic to  $X$ , and $\widehat{K}$ contains no analytic discs.

Let A be a uniform algebra on a compact Hausdorff space X. The spectrum, or the maximal ideal space, MA, of A is given byWe define the measure spectrum, SA, of A bySA is the set of all representing measures on X for all Φ ∈ MA. (A representing measure for Φ ∈ MA is a probability measure μ on X satisfyingThe concept of representing measure continues to be an effective tool in the study of uniform algebras. See for example [12, Chapters 2 and 3], [5, pp. 15-22] and [3]. Most of the known results on the subject of representing measures, however, concern measures associated with a single homomorphism.

In this work the question of algebraic closeness of $ \beta $-uniform algebra $ A (\Omega) $ defined on locally compact space $ \Omega $ is investigated.

We determine, via classroom proofs, the maximal ideal space, the Bass stable rank as well as the topological and dense stable rank of the uniform closure of all complex-valued functions continuously differentiable on neighborhoods of a compact planar set and holomorphic in the interior of . In this spirit, we also give elementary approaches to the calculation of these stable ranks for some classical function algebras on .
