About locally \(m\)-convex algebras with dense finitely generated ideals (Q306966)

By Theorem 3.2 of \textit{R. Arens} [Mich. Math. J. 5, 169--182 (1958; Zbl 0087.31802)] it is possible to show that every unital commutative Fréchet locally \(m\)-convex algebra \(A\) has non-dense finitely generated ideals. It is shown in the paper under review by examples that this result is not true if one omits the completeness or metrizability of \(A\). In addition, several equivalent conditions for a unital commutative locally \(m\)-convex algebra are given in order that the codimension of every maximal ideal in \(A\) is one.
