Gelfand-Kolmogoroff theorem for rings of analytic functions (Q505380)

The paper deals with the properties of the rings of single variable real analytic functions or complex entire functions (they are together denoted by \({\mathbb K}\!\langle z\rangle\), where \(\mathbb K\) denotes one of the fields \(\mathbb R\) and \(\mathbb C\)). It is shown that every ideal of \({\mathbb K}\!\langle z\rangle\) is a discrete \(z\)-ideal and that every prime ideal of \({\mathbb K}\!\langle z\rangle\) is contained in a unique maximal ideal of \({\mathbb K}\!\langle z\rangle\). It is also shown that there is a bijective continuous map between the sets \(\beta{\mathbb K}\backslash Q({\mathbb K})\) and \(\theta{\mathbb K}\), where \(\beta{\mathbb K}\) is the Stone-Čech compactification of \(\mathbb K\), \(Q({\mathbb K})\) is the collection of all far points of \(\beta{\mathbb K}\) and \(\theta\mathbb K\) is the set of all indexed discrete \(z\)-ultrafilters (i.e., indexed maximal discrete \(z\)-filters). Moreover, it is shown that the Krull dimension of the set of all convergent power series with coefficients belonging to \(\mathbb K\) is at least the cardinality of \(\mathbb R\).
