2 Group of invertible elements in a Banach Algebra Let A be a complex unital Banach Algebra and G(A) denote the group of invertible elements of A. Theorem G(A) is an open set in A. ( ) 1 B a, a 1 G(A) Is this the biggest ball? Does there exists a non-invertible b A such that b a = 1 a 1 Sukumar (IITH) BOBP August 4, / 11

3 Biggest Open Ball Property (BOBP) Definition (An element has BOBP) An( element ) a G(A) has BOBP if the boundary of the ball 1 B a, intersects Sing(A). a 1 Definition (BOBP) A Banach algebra has BOBP if every element of G(A) has BOBP. Can we characterise all Banach Algebras which satisfy BOBP? Can we characterise all the elements of a Banach Algebra, which do not satisfy BOBP? Sukumar (IITH) BOBP August 4, / 11

Then g is singular and Commutative unital C algebra f g = f (x 0 ) = 1 f 1 Since it is true for C(X ), X compact and Hausdorff, by representation theorem, any commutative unital C algebras has BOBP. For general C algebra. If x G(A) is normal, the x satisfies BOBP. Sukumar (IITH) BOBP August 4, / 11
