Abstract:
Let $B$ denote a closed subalgebra of ${L^\infty }$ containing the space of bounded analytic functions. Let $M(B)$ denote the maximal ideal space of $B$. Let $f$ be a function in $B$ such that $f$ does not vanish on any Gleason part consisting of a single point. We show that if $g$ is a function in $B$ such that $\left | g \right | \leq \left | f \right |{\text { on }}M(B)$, then $g/f \in B$.References
