Homomorphisms Between Algebras of Holomorphic Functions on the Infinite Polydisk

Abstract

We study the vector-valued spectrum $\mathcal{M}_\infty(B_{c_0},B_{c_0})$, that is, the set of non null algebra homomorphisms from $\mathcal H^\infty(B_{c_0})$ to $\mathcal H^\infty(B_{c_0})$ which is naturally projected onto the closed unit ball of $\mathcal H^\infty(B_{c_0}, \ell_\infty)$, likewise the scalar-valued spectrum $\mathcal M_\infty(B_{c_0})$ which is projected over $\bar{B}_{\ell_\infty}$. Our itinerary begins in the scalar-valued spectrum $\mathcal{M}_\infty(B_{c_0})$: by expanding a result by Cole, Gamelin and Johnson (1992) we prove that on each fiber there are $2^c$ disjoint analytic Gleason isometric copies of $B_{\ell_\infty}$. For the vector-valued case, building on the previous result we obtain $2^c$ disjoint analytic Gleason isometric copies of $B_{\mathcal{H}^\infty(B_{c_0},\ell_\infty)}$ on each fiber. We also take a look at the relationship between fibers and Gleason parts for both vector-valued spectra $\mathcal{M}_{u,\infty}(B_{c_0},B_{c_0})$ and $\mathcal{M}_\infty(B_{c_0},B_{c_0})$.
