A unital $C^{*}$ algebra is called a "Path connected algebra" if the spectrum of all its elements is a path connected subset of $\mathbb{C}$. What is an example of a non commutative ...

Let $g\in C(\Bbb R)$ be given, we want to find a solution $f\in C(\Bbb R)$ of the equation $$ f(x+1) + f(x) = g(x). $$ We may rewrite the equation using the right-shift operator $(Tf)(x) = f(x+1)$...

I'm trying to determine whether or not the standard proof that the spectrum of a point in a unital Banach algebra is non-empty can be adapted to prove the same thing over certain non-Archimedean ...
