Multiplicative spectrum of ultrametric Banach algebras of continuous functions

Résumé

Let $K$ be an ultrametric complete field and let $E$ be an ultrametric space. Let $A$ be the Banach $K$-algebra of bounded continuous functions from $E$ to $K$ and let $B$ be the Banach $K$-algebra of bounded uniformly continuous functions from $E$ to $K$. Maximal ideals and continuous multiplicative semi-norms on $A$ (resp. on $B$) are studied by defining relations of stickness and contiguousness on ultrafilters that are equivalence relations. So, the maximal spectrum of $A$ (resp. of $B$) is in bijection with the set of equivalence classes with respect to stickness (resp. to contiguousness). Every prime ideal of $A$ or $B$ is included in a unique maximal ideal and every prime closed ideal of $A$ (resp. of $B$) is a maximal ideal, hence every continuous multiplicative semi-norms on $A$ (resp. on $B$) has a kernel that is a maximal ideal. If $K$ is locally compact, every maximal ideal of $A$, (resp. of $B$) is of codimension $1$. Every maximal ideal of $A$ or $B$ is the kernel of a unique continuous multiplicative semi-norm and every continuous multiplicative semi-norm is defined as the limit along an ultrafilter on $E$. Consequently, on $A$ as on $B$ the set of continuous multiplicative semi-norms defined by points of $E$ is dense in the whole set of all continuous multiplicative semi-norms. Ultrafilters show bijections between the set of continuous multiplicative semi-norms of $A , \ Max(A)$ and the Banaschewski compactification of $E$ which is homeomorphic to the topological space of continuous multiplicative semi-norms. The Shilov boundary of $A$ (resp. $B$) is equal to the whole set of continuous multiplicative semi-norms.
