Which linear maps of the disk algebra are multiplicative

Richard Rochberg

Vol. 38 (1971), No. 1, 207–212
Abstract

Let T be a linear map of the disk algebra into itself which is of norm one and fixes the constants. This paper considers the question of what additional restrictions suffice to insure that T is multiplicative. It is shown that if T is an isometry and the range of T is a ring then T is multiplicative and that if the image under T of the coordinate function of the disk is an extreme point of the unit ball of the disk algebra then T is multiplicative.
