Abstract: Consider rings of single variable real analytic or complex entire functions, denoted by mathbbKlanglezangle. We study "discrete z-filters" on mathbbK and their connections with the space of maximal ideals of mathbbKlanglezangle, which we characterize as a compact T1 space hetamathbbK of discrete z-ultrafilters on mathbbK. We show that hetamathbbK is a bijective continuous image of , where Q(mathbbK) is the set of far points of . hetamathbbK turns out to be the Wallman compactification of the canonically embedded image of mathbbK inside hetamathbbK. Using our characterization of hetamathbbK, we derive a Gelfand-Kolmogorov characterization of maximal ideals of mathbbKlanglezangle and show that the Krull dimension of mathbbKlanglezangle is at least c. We also establish the existence of a chain of prime z-filters on mathbbK consisting of at least 2c many elements.


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 \(\mathbb R\).
