Abstract:

For a function algebra $A$ we investigate relations between the following three topics: isomorphisms of singly generated $A$-modules, Morita equivalence bimodules, and “real harmonic functions” with respect to $A$. We also consider certain groups which are naturally associated with a uniform algebra $A$. We illustrate the notions considered with several examples.
