Henriksen’s contributions to residue class rings of analytic and entire functions. (English) Zbl 1234.30025

Summary: The author surveys, summarizes and generalizes results of Golasiński and Henriksen, and of others, concerning certain residue class rings.
Let \(\mathcal A(\mathbb R)\) denote the ring of analytic functions over reals \(\mathbb R\) and \(\mathcal E(\mathbb K)\) the ring of entire functions over \(\mathbb R\) or complex numbers \(\mathbb C\). It is shown that if \(m\) is a maximal ideal of \(\mathcal A(\mathbb R)\), then \(\mathcal A(\mathbb R)/m\) is isomorphic either to the reals or a real-closed field that is \(\eta _{1}\)-set, while if \(m\) is a maximal ideal of \(\mathcal E(\mathbb K)\), then \(\mathcal E(\mathbb K)/m\) is isomorphic to one of these latter two fields or to complex numbers.
