Commutative non-Archimedean Cāˆ—-algebras

Gerard J. Murphy

Vol. 78 (1978), No. 2, 433–446
Abstract

Commutative non-archimedean C-algebras are defined, their properties established, and a representation theory is developed for them. Their closed ideals are completely analyzed in terms of the closed subsets of the spectrum where they ‘vanish.’ A large class of C-algebras is exhibited. A Stone-Weierstrass theorem generalizing a result of Kaplansky is proved.
