Abstract:
Let $A$ be a Banach algebra with radical $R$. In 1951 Feldman exhibited an example in which it is impossible to find a closed subalgebra $K$ of $A$ such that $A = K \oplus R$. We provide other examples. Feldman’s algebra is commutative, but these examples are, in general, not commutative.References
