Gelfand map is topologically injective












3












$begingroup$


Let $A$ be a commutative Banach algebra and let
$$G: A rightarrow C_{0}(text{Spec}(A))$$ be a topologically injective map.



Recall that the map $T: X rightarrow Y$ is called topologically injective if there exists a positive $C > 0$ such that $||Tx|| geq C ||x||$ for all $x in X$. One can also show that the latter is equivalent to the definition in which
$$T: X rightarrow text{im}(T)$$ is a homeomorphism (in fact, it is the original definition)



How to prove that the Gelfand map $G$ is topologicall injective if and only if there exists $C > 0$ such that for all $a in A$
$$||a^{2} || geq C ||a||^{2}$$

The spectral radius $r(a)=lim_{ntoinfty} |a^{2^n}|^{frac{1}{2^n}}geq lim_{ntoinfty} (C^n|a|^{2^n})^{frac{1}{2^n}}=|a|$, thus $|G(a)|=r(a)=|a|$. So, $G$ is in fact an isometry.
