The spectra of Banach algebras of holomorphic functions on polydisk type domains

Abstract

R.M. Aron et al. proved that the Cluster Value Theorem in the infinite dimensional Banach space setting holds for the Banach algebra ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(B_{c_0})$. On the other hand, B.J. Cole and T.W. Gamelin showed that ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }({\ell }_2\cap B_{c_0})$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(B_{c_0})$ in the sense of an algebra. Motivated by this work, we are interested in a class of open subsets $U$ of a Banach space $X$ for which ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(U)$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(B_{c_0})$. We prove that there exist polydisk type domains $U$ of any infinite dimensional Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis such that ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(U)$ is isometrically isomorphic to ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(B_{c_0})$, which generalizes the result by Cole and Gamelin. Furthermore, we study the analytic and algebraic structure of the spectrum of ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(U)$ and show that the Cluster Value Theorem is true for ${\mathcal{H}}^{\infty }(U)$.
