Homomorphisms between algebras of Lipschitz functions with the values in function algebras

From MaRDI portal





The present paper aims at describing the algebraic homomorphisms between Banach algebras of Lipschitz mappings \(\mathrm{Lip}\big(X,C(M)\big)\), where \(X\) is a compact metric space, \(M\) is a compact Hausdorff topological space and the uniform algebra of complex-valued continuous functions \(C(M)\). Denote by \(\langle g,m \rangle=g(m)\) the action of \(g\in C(M)\) on \(m\in M\). The norm for \(f\in \mathrm{Lip}\big(X,C(M)\big)\) is defined by \(\|f\|_L=\sup_{x\in X}\|f(x)\|+L(f)\), where \(L(f)\) denotes the infimum of the Lispchitz constants of \(f\). The identity \(\mathbf{1}_X\) in \(\mathrm{Lip}\big(X,C(M)\big)\) is given by the constant mapping \(x\mapsto \mathbf{1}\). The algebraic homomorphisms \(\psi\) between two such algebras \(\mathrm{Lip}\big(X_1,C(M_1)\big)\) and \(\mathrm{Lip}\big(X_2,C(M_2)\big)\), with \(X_2\) connected, that preserve the identity are shown to be of the form \[ F\in \mathrm{Lip}\big(X_1,C(M_1)\big) \overset{\psi}{\longrightarrow}\big( y\mapsto {\ll} F \circ\delta_y\circ \varphi,\tau{\gg})\in \mathrm{Lip}\big(X_2,C(M_2)\big), \] where \(\tau:M_2\to M_1\) is a continuous mapping, \(\varphi:M_2\to \mathrm{Lip}(X_2,X_1)\) is a mapping with uniformly bounded Lipschitz constants, \(\delta_y\) denotes evaluation at the point \(y\in X_2\) and \({\ll},{\gg}\) denotes the pointwise action. In proving this result, the author also shows that the maximal ideal space of \(\mathrm{Lip}\big(X,C(M)\big)\) is homeomorphic to \(X\times M\). In the case when \(\psi\) is an algebraic isomorphism, then \(\tau\) is surjective and \(\delta_y\circ \varphi\) is continuous. When both \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are connected, the algebraic isomorphisms are described in an analogous way to the above result.
