Abstract:
Let A be a uniformly closed point separating algebra of bounded real valued functions on a set X, containing the constant functions. A is called z-separating if whenever ${Z_1},{Z_2}$ are disjoint zero sets of members of A there is some $f \in A$ with $f({Z_1}) = 0$ and $f({Z_2}) = 1$. We prove that A is z-separating if and only if A consists of precisely those bounded real valued functions f on X for which ${f^{ - 1}}(C)$ is a zero set of some member of A for every closed set C of real line.References
