1. Let A = C(T), B ⊂ C(T) the closure of polynomials in z. Show that the spectrum of z in A is T, while the spectrum of z in B is the unit disc. 2. Show that if r(x) = kxk for all x in a Banach algebra A then A is commutative. Hint: show that kezx ye−zx k = kyk for all x, y ∈ A and z ∈ C, and conclude by Liouville’s theorem that ezx ye−zx = y. 3. Show that for any f ∈ L1 (R) the map R → L1 (R), y 7→ fy , is continuous, where fy (x) = f (x − y). 4. Recall that for a locally compact abelian group G the dual group Ĝ is the group of continuous homomorphisms G → T with operation of pointwise multiplication. (i) Show that if G is a finite abelian group then Ĝ ∼ = G. (ii) Show that for any χ ∈ R̂ there exists x ∈ R such that χ(t) = eixt . Therefore R̂ ∼ = R. (iii) Show that for any χ ∈ T̂ there exists n ∈ Z such that χ(z) = z n . Therefore T̂ ∼ = Z. 1
