Maximal ideals of the ring $\mathbb C \{T\}$
Consider the Banach $\mathbb C$-algebra
$$
\mathbb C \{T\} = \left\lbrace \sum_{i \geq 0} a_i T^i : \sum_{i \geq 0} |a_i| < \infty \right\rbrace
$$
With the norm given by $\| \sum a_i T^i\| = \sum |...

Are fibers in the corona of $H^\infty$ separable?
Let $\mathcal{M}(H^\infty(\mathbb{D}))$ denote the spectrum of the Banach algebra $H^\infty$ and $\mathcal{M}_z(H^\infty(\mathbb{D}))$ the fiber over $z\in \mathbb{D}$, i.e. $\{\varphi\in \mathcal{M}:...

Understanding vector-valued analytic functions vs holomorphic functional calculus
Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra over complex numbers and call elements of $A$ "vectors". Let $\Omega$ be an open set in $\mathbb{C}$ and $H(\Omega)$ the space of analytic functions on $\...

Supremum over which sets makes $H^{\infty}$ non-separable?
It is known that the space $H^{\infty}$ of bounded holomorphic functions on the unit disk $D$ is non-separable with respect to the supremum norm $\|\cdot\|_{\infty}^{D}$. Let $E\subset D$ be connected ...

Spectra of elements of a Banach algebra and the role played by the Hahn-Banach Theorem.
This problem was posed on Math StackExchange some time ago, but it did not garner any solutions there. I think that it is interesting enough to be posed here on Math Overflow, so here it goes.
Let $ \...

Witt's proof of Gelfand-Mazur / Ostrowski's Theorem
Previously asked on Math Stackexchange without answers.
Background: As sort of a hobby, Ernst Witt gave extremely short proofs for famous theorems. This question is about his six-line proof of the ...

Projective tensor squares of uniform algebras
In discussion with a colleague recently (Jan 2017),
$\newcommand{\AD}{A({\bf D})}\newcommand{\CT}{C({\bf T})}$
I was reminded that if $A(D)$ denotes the disc algebra and $\iota: \AD\to \CT$ is the ...

What function space does holomorphic functional calculus give us?
Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra, $U$ be an open subset of $\mathbb{C}$, and $A_U:=\{x\in A:\sigma(x)\subset U\}$. Holomorphic functional calculus says that any holomorphic function $f:U\rightarrow\...

Factorization in the Wiener algebra on the unit disc.
Consider the Banach algebra $W^+=\ell^1(\mathbb{Z}^+)$, viewed upon as the analytic functions $f$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ such that $$\|f\|=\sum_{k\ge0}|a_k|<\infty$$ where
$$f(z)=\sum a_kz^k$...
