Gelfand theory in algebras of differentiable functions on Banach spaces (Q793294)

We consider algebras of differentiable functions which can be approximated by polynomials of finite type on bounded subsets of a reflexive Banach space. We find the spectra of such algebras and we begin the study of the structure of their closed ideals. In relation to this, we treat also an approximation problem of functions such that \(f,f',...,f^{(m)}\) vanish on a weakly compact set by a method involving radical algebras and the Ahlfors-Heins theorem.
