Homomorphisms on spaces of weakly continuous holomorphic functions

subject

description

Let X be a Banach space and let $X^{\ast }$ be its topological dual space. We study the algebra ${\cal H}_{w^\ast}(X^{\ast})$ of entire functions on $X^{\ast }$ that are weak-star continuous on bounded sets. We prove that every m-homogeneous polynomial of finite type P on $X^*$ that is weak-star continuous on bounded sets can be written in the form $P=\textstyle\sum\limits _{j=1}^q x_{1j}\cdots x_{mj}$ where $x_{ij} \in X$ , for all i,j. As an application, we characterize convolution homomorphisms on ${\cal H}_{w^\ast}(X^{\ast})$ and on the space ${\cal H}_{wu}(X)$ of entire functions on X which are weakly uniformly continuous on bounded subsets of X, assuming that X * has the approximation property.
