Some spectral properties of multipliers on commutative Banach algebras (Q681813)

Let \(A\) be a commutative Banach algebra. A multiplier \(T \in M(A)\) has natural spectrum if \(\sigma(T)=\overline{\hat{T}(\Sigma_{A})}\), where \(\hat{T}\) denotes the Helgason-Wang representation of \(T\). Let \(M_{0}(A)\) denote the set of multipliers that vanish at infinity, and \(N_{0}(A)\) the subset of those which have natural spectrum. The main result of the paper states that \(N_{0}(A)\) is a closed ideal of \(M_{0}(A)\), whose Gelfand space is \(\Sigma_{A}\), when \(A\) is a semisimple uniformly regular Banach algebra. This extends Theorem 3.1 of [Pac. J. Math. 47, 609--626 (1973; Zbl 0242.43006)], where \textit{M. Zafran} obtained the same result for \(L^{p}(G)\) \((1 \leq p < \infty)\) when \(G\) is a compact abelian group. Also, a spectral mapping theorem for convolution operators, induced by representations of locally compact abelian groups, is given.
