Partial regularity and t-analytic sets for Banach function algebras

In this note we introduce the notion of t-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling’s conjecture in H infinity. A description of all closed t-analytic sets for the disk-algebra is given. More...

Description
Summary:In this note we introduce the notion of t-analytic sets. Using this concept, we construct a class of closed prime ideals in Banach function algebras and discuss some problems related to Alling’s conjecture in H infinity. A description of all closed t-analytic sets for the disk-algebra is given. Moreover, we show that some of the assertions in [8] concerning the O-analyticity and S-regularity of certain Banach function algebras are not correct. We also determine the largest set on which a Douglas algebra is pointwise regular.
