A question of Warner and Whitley concerning a nonunital version of the Gleason-Kahane-Żelazko theorem is considered in the context of nonnormed topological algebras. Among other things it is shown that a closed hyperplane M of a commutative symmetric F*-algebra E with Lindelöf Gel'fand space is a maximal regular ideal iff each element of M belongs to some closed maximal regular ideal of E.
We establish a covering criterion involving a neighbourhood system and ideals of open sets which yields, in particular, a compactness criterion for an arbitrary topological space. As an application, we give new proofs of Tychonoff’s compactness theorem: we consider separately the case of a countable product, in a proof of which the ordinary mathematical induction is used, and the case of an uncountable product proved by the transfinite induction. Subsequently, the same argument is applied to obtain some results on products of Lindelöf spaces.
