|

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\phi \in A^*$ be a multiplicative functional, then $\norm{\phi}_{A^*} \le 1$.
|
||||
\end{proposition}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
Let $\tilde A$ be the unitisation of $A$, then by (U) of the \hyperref[unitisation]{definition:unitisation}, $\phi$ extends to a multiplicative functional $\tilde \phi$ on $\tilde A$. Therefore $\norm{\phi}_{A^*} \le \normn{\tilde \phi}_{{\tilde A}^*} = 1$.

|

Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra, then $\Omega(A)$ is the \textbf{space of multiplicative linear functionals}, which is a compact Hausdorff space under the weak-* topology.
|

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, then $\Omega(A)$ is the \textbf{space of multiplicative linear functionals}, and with respect to the weak-* topology,
|
||||
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item If $A$ is unital, then $\Omega(A)$ is a compact Hausdorff space.
|
||||
\item $\Omega(A) \cup \bracs{0}$ is a compact Hausdorff space, and $\Omega(A)$ is a LCH space.
|
||||
\end{enumerate}
|

\end{definition}
|
||||
\begin{proof}
|
||||
By the \hyperref[Banach-Alaoglu Theorem]{theorem:alaoglu}.
|
||||
(1): By \autoref{proposition:multiplicative-unit}, $\Omega(A)$ is a weak-* closed subset of $\bracsn{\phi \in A^*:\norm{\phi}_{A^*} = 1}$, so it is compact by the \hyperref[Banach-Alaoglu Theorem]{theorem:alaoglu}.
|
||||
|
||||
(2): By \autoref{proposition:multiplicative-less-unit}, $\Omega(A) \cup \bracs{0}$ is a weak-* closed subset of $\ol{B_{A^*}(0, 1)}$, so it is compact by the \hyperref[Banach-Alaoglu Theorem]{theorem:alaoglu}.
