Closed ideals of the algebra of absolutely convergent Taylor series. (English) Zbl 0803.46052
Summary: Let $$\Gamma$$ be the unit circle, $$A(\Gamma)$$ the Wiener algebra of continuous functions whose series of Fourier coefficients are absolutely convergent, and $$A^ +$$ the subalgebra of $$A(\Gamma)$$ of functions whose negative coefficients are zero. If $$I$$ is a closed ideal of $$A^ +$$, we denote by $$S_ I$$ the greatest common divisor of the inner factors of the nonzero elements of $$I$$ and by $$I^ A$$ the closed ideal generated by $$I$$ in $$A(\Gamma)$$. It was conjectured that the equality $$I^ A= S_ I H^ \infty\cap I^ A$$ holds for every closed ideal $$I$$. We exhibit a large class $$\mathcal F$$ of perfect subsets of $$\Gamma$$, including the triadic Cantor set, such that the above equality holds whenever $$h(I)\cap \Gamma\in {\mathcal F}$$. We also give counterexamples to the conjecture.
