Derivations on universally complete \(f\)-algebras. (English) Zbl 1319.46037

I. M. Singer and J. Wermer [Math. Ann. 129, 260–264 (1955; Zbl 0067.35101)] showed that every bounded derivation on a commutative Banach algebra maps into the radical and they conjectured that the condition of boundedness for the derivation was not necessary. This conjecture has finally been proved by M. P. Thomas [Ann. Math. (2) 128, No. 3, 435–460 (1988; Zbl 0681.47016)]. Motivated by the interest in range inclusion results for derivations on Banach algebras, the authors of this paper give a non-Banach Singer-Wermer version for derivations acting on universally complete \(f\)-algebras. As results, they prove that, if \(A\) is a universally complete \(f\)-algebra and \(M\) is a uniformly closed maximal ring ideal of \(A\), then \(M\) is invariant under any derivation \(D\) on \(A\) and \(D\) maps into \(\mathrm{Clorad}(A),\) where \(\mathrm{Clorad}(A)\equiv \bigcap_{M \in m(A)} M,\) and \(m(A)\) denotes the set of all uniformly closed maximal ring ideals of \(A\). Furthermore, the authors present some additional systematic theorems concerned with the study of weakly locally one-dimensional spaces by using the range inclusion theorems for derivations acting on universally complete \(f\)-algebras.
