Abstract:
We prove: Let $\Sigma$ be a compact real-analytic variety in $\mathbf {C}^n$. Assume (i) $\Sigma$ is polynomially convex and (ii) every point of $\Sigma$ is a peak point for $P(\Sigma )$. Then $P(\Sigma ) = C(\Sigma )$. This generalizes a previous result of the authors on polynomial approximation on three-dimensional real-analytic submanifolds of $\mathbf {C}^n$.References
