Under the title of Function Algebras we may now include a very large number of works. published mainly in the last decade, which consti- tute one of the important chapters of functional analysis. This chapter has grown up from various problems. permanently furnished to mathe- matics. by the theory of functions. using modern methods of algebra, topology and functional analysis and presenting large possibilities of applications in operators theory. Herefrom proceeds its living character, the variety of obtained results. the variety of forms and contexts in which these results can be found. This...
