Descriptions of the topological radical in topological algebras (Q2765256)

Let \(A\) be a complex topological algebra with separately continuous multiplication. The intersection of kernels of all continuous irreducible representations of \(A\) on linear Hausdorff spaces is called topological radical of \(A\) and is denoted rad \(A\). In this paper, the main properties of the topological radical are studied. If \(A\) is a topological nonradical algebra, then the topological radical is equal to the intersection of all closed primitive ideals of \(A\), and rad\,\(A\) is also equal to the intersection of all closed maximal regular left (right) ideals of \(A\). The Jacobson radical of \(A\), Rad \(A\), is included in, topological radical of \(A\).NEWLINENEWLINE In the second part of the paper, the author describes the topological radical of commutative topologicalally nonradical algebras. If \(A\) is a commutative advertive simplicial topologically nonradical algebra or a topologically nonradical Q-algebra or a complete locally pseudoconvex nonradical algebra, then Rad \(A=\) rad \(A\). Several classes of advertive topological algebras have been studied by the author in [Advertive topological algebras, Math. Stud., Tartu 1, 14--24 (2001; Zbl 1044.46038), see the preceding review].NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0969.00059].
