Abstract

 Let ( Cb( X) , b) be the algebra of all continuous bounded real or complex valued functions defined on a completely regular Hausdorff space X with the usual algebraic operations and with the strict topology b. It is proved that ( Cb( X), b)  has a spectral synthesis, i.e. every of its closed ideals is an intersection of closed maximal ideals of codimension 1. We give one necessary and two sufficient conditions over X in order that ( Cb( X) , b) has no proper non-zero closed principal ideals. Moreover if X satisfy any of these two conditions and is also a k-space, then any non zero element of Cb( X) is invertible or a topological divisor of zero.

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46J05 (46J20).


Keywords and phrases: spectral synthesis, strict topology, closed ideals, topological divisors of zero.
