Abstract

For any uniformly closed subalgebra A of C(K) for a compact Hausdorff space K without isolated points and x0A, we show that every complete norm on A which makes continuous the multiplication by x0 is equivalent to · provided that x0-1(λ) has no interior points whenever λ lies in ℂ. Actually, these assertions are equivalent if A = C(K).
