Extract

Compact homomorphisms between Banach algebras are not particularly unusual – for example if A is the algebra of complex sequences {an} with nan → 0 as n → ∞ and ∥{an}∥ = supn(nan) and B = c0 then the embedding map ø:A → B is a compact homomorphism. Nevertheless for really well behaved Banach algebras it is often the case that the only weakly compact homomorphisms are those with a finite-dimensional range. A number of interesting results in this area appear in [1] and elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is to extend those results.
