Maximal ideal spaces of invariant function algebras on compact groups
V. M. Gichev Sobolev Institute of Mathematics, Omsk Division, Omsk, 644099 Russia
Abstract:
Let $G$ be a compact group and $A$ be a closed subalgebra of $C(G)$ which is invariant under
the left and right shifts in $G$. We consider maximal ideal spaces (spectra) $\mathcal{M}_A$ of these algebras. They
can be defined as closed sub-bialgebras of $C(G)$. There is a natural semigroup structure in $\mathcal{M}_A$ that
admits an involutive anti-automorphism and a polar decomposition. If $\mathcal{M}_A\ne G$ then $\mathcal{M}_A$ has a
nontrivial analytic structure. If $G$ is a Lie group then every idempotent in $\mathcal{M}_A$ is the identity element
of a complex Lie semigroup embedded to $\mathcal{M}_A$. The semigroup $\mathcal{M}_A$ admits an analogue of Cartan's
decomposition $KAK$, namely, $\mathcal{M}_A=G\widehat{T}G$, where $\widehat{T}$ is an abelian semigroup that is a hull of the
maximal torus $T$.
Key words:
invariant function algebra, maximal ideal space, complex Lie semigroup.
