Abstract
For a multiplication operator on a semi-simple commutative Banach algebra, it is shown that the decomposability in the sense of Foias is equivalent to weak and to super-decomposability. Moreover, it can also be characterized by a convenient continuity condition for the Gelfand transform on the spectrum of the underlying Banach algebra. This result implies various permanence properties for decomposable multiplication operators and leads also to a useful characterization of the regularity for a semi-simple commutative Banach algebra. Finally, the greatest regular closed subalgebra of a commutative Banach algebra is investigated, and some applications to decomposable convolution operators on locally compact abelian groups are given.
