Abstract:
For Banach algebras $A$ in a class which includes all group and function algebras, we show that the family of ideals of $A$ with the same hull is typically quite large, containing ascending and descending chains of arbitrary length through any ideal in the family, and that typically a closed ideal of $A$ whose hull meets the Šilov boundary of $A$ cannot be countably generated algebraically.References
