Strong Uniqueness of the Functional Calculus for Some Commutative Banach Algebras
William R. Zame
A commutative Banach algebra with identity is said to be quasi-simple if 0 is the only element which belongs to every power of every maximal ideal. A strong uniqueness result is established for the functional calculus in quasi-simple algebras with no non-trivial idempotents. Related results on uniqueness and continuity of homomorphisms are also obtained.
