$C^{*}$- properties of vector-valued Banach algebras (2212.06131v1)

Abstract: Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $A$ be a commutative semisimple Banach algebra over the scalar field $\mathbb{C}$. The correlation between different types of BSE- Banach algebras $A$, and the Banach algebra $C_{0}(X, A)$ are assessed. It is found and approved that $C_{0}(X, A)$ is a $C^{*}$- algebra if and only if $A$ is so. Furthermore, $C_{b}(X, A)= C_{0}(X, A)$ if and only if $X$ is compact.
