Abstract:

The ideal structure of the algebra $C(X,A)$ has been studied in many papers under various topological assumptions on the space X and the algebra A. In this paper we shall study the case where X is a completely regular topological space and A is a locally convex star algebra. In such case the structure of closed (proper) ideals can be described not only by using points of X and some family of closed ideals of A, as usual, but also by using points of the carrier space $\Delta (A)$ of A and some family of closed ideals of $C(X,A)$ depending on those points and also by using different kind of slice ideals of $C(X,A)$.
