Seminormed -subalgebras of ^(X)

Abstract: Arbitrary representations of a commutative unital (

a s t

-)

m a t h b b F

-algebra

A

as a subalgeba of

m a t h b b F^{X}

are considered, where

m a t h b b F = m a t h b b C

or

m a t h b b R

and

X e q e m p t y s e t

. The Gelfand spectrum of

A

is explained as a topological extension of

X

where a seminorm on the image of

A

in

m a t h b b F^{X}

is present. It is shown that among all seminormes, the

s u p

-norm is of special importance which reduces

m a t h b b F^{X}

to

e l l^{i n f t y} (X)

. The Banach subalgebra of

e l l^{i n f t y} (X)

of all

S i g m a

-measurable bounded functions on

X

, is studied for which

S i g m a

is a

s i g m a

-algebra of subsets of

X

. In particular, we study lifting of positive measures from

(X, S i g m a)

to the Gelfand spectrum of this algebra and observe an unexpected shift in the support of measures. In the case that

S i g m a

is the Borel algebra of a topology, we study the relation of the underlying topology of

X

and the one of the Gelfand spectrum.
