RT journal article T1 Invertibles in topological rings: A new approach A1 García Pacheco, Francisco Javier A1 Miralles, A. A1 Murillo Arcila, Marina A2 Matemáticas K1 Spectrum K1 Rings K1 Algebras K1 Zero divisor K1 Invertibles K1 Operator AB Every element in the boundary of the group of invertibles of a Banach algebra is a topologicalzero divisor. We extend this result to the scope of topological rings. In particular, wedefine a new class of semi-normed rings, called almost absolutely semi-normed rings, whichstrictly includes the class of absolutely semi-valued rings, and prove that every element inthe boundary of the group of invertibles of a complete almost absolutely semi-normed ringis a topological zero divisor. To achieve all these, we have to previously entail an exhaustivestudy of topological divisors of zero in topological rings. In addition, it is also well knownthat the group of invertibles is open and the inversion map is continuous and C-differentiablein a Banach algebra. We also extend these results to the setting of complete normed rings.Finally, this study allows us to generalize the point, continuous and residual spectra to thescope of Banach algebras.
