Banach algebra structure on simple extensions
Banach algebra structure on simple extensions
We study the existence of Banach algebra structures on simple extensions of a unitary commutative Banach algebra. The link with the integrality of these extensions is studied. For any simple extension, a characterization of the existence of the Banach algebra norm making continuous the canonical injection is also given.
