<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 />
