Abstract

If A is a complex Banach algebra which is also a Bezout domain, it is shown that for any prime p and a non-negative integer n, pn is not a topological divisor of zero. Using the above result it is shown that a complex Banach algebra which is a principal ideal domain is isomorphic to the complex field.
