From the introduction: ``We show that, using closed subalgebras \(B\), it is possible to define a topology on \(A\) (different from the norm-topology) in such a way that a whole range of `boundaries' can be obtained, with \(B={\mathbb C}\) giving the `thin' boundary and \(B=A\) the `fat' boundary of \(\sigma(a)\) -- see Corollary 6.4. From [\textit{R. E. Harte} and \textit{A. W. Wickstead}, Proc. R. Ir. Acad., Sect. A 81, 201--208 (1981; Zbl 0489.46041)] we recall a certain duality between the boundary \(\partial\sigma(a)\) and the connected hull \(\eta\sigma(a)\) of the spectrum of \(a\). Bearing in mind the fact that the exponential spectrum \(\varepsilon(a)\) of \(a\) lies beteen \(\sigma(a)\) and \(\eta\sigma(a)\), i.e., \[ \sigma(a)\subseteq \varepsilon(a)\subseteq\eta\sigma(a), \] we also investigate the `connected hulls' accompanying these new `boundaries', and show that \(B=A\) yields \(\varepsilon(a)\), making \(\varepsilon(a)\) the `little' connected hull of \(\sigma(a)\). In addition, it is shown that in trivial cases, the `big' connected hull of \(\sigma(a)\) is \(\eta\sigma(a)\), while otherwise it is actually the whole of \(\mathbb C\) (see Corollary 6.9).''
