<strong>Commutative</strong> <strong>Banach</strong> <strong>algebras</strong> - ideals<br />

An ideal J ⊆ A is proper when J = A. A proper ideal J ⊆ A is<br />

maximal when there is no proper ideal I ⊆ A such that J ⊆ I and<br />

J = I.<br />

Theorem<br />

(Theorem 11.3) Let A be a commutative unital <strong>Banach</strong> algebra.<br />

Then<br />

(a) every proper ideal is contained in a maximal ideal in A, and<br />

(b) every maximal ideal is closed.<br />
