Some typical ideal in a uniform algebra (Q1105157)

Let \(H^{\infty}\) be a weak-* closed subalgebra of \(L^{\infty}(m)\) on which m is multiplicative. Let I be a weak-* closed linear span of functions in \(H^{\infty}\) that are zero on sets of positive measure. Then I is a weak-* closed ideal of \(H^{\infty}\). Let G be the Gleason part of m, then it may happen that \(G\subseteq hull I\), \(G=(m)\) and hull \(I\neq \{m\}\). In this paper \(H^{\infty}\) is studied when hull \(I\neq \{m\}\) or hull I\(=\{m\}\).
