The latex code here is doing all sorts of odd things... :( ... anyway,
The convolution algebra is [tex]l_1(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{C})[/tex], the set of functions [tex]f:\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}[/tex] which satisfy
[tex]||f||:=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}|f(n)|<\infty[/tex]
with pointwise addition and scalar multiplication, and multiplication of functions defined by
[tex]f*g(n)=\sum_{m=-\infty}^{\infty}f(n-m)g(m)[/tex]
(this is a commutative Banach algebra).
For [tex]z\in\mathbb{T}[/tex], the unit circle in the complex plane, the functional [tex]\psi_z:l_1(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{C})\rightarrow\mathbb{C}[/tex] is defined by
[tex]\psi_z(f)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{infty}f(n)z^n[/tex]
.[tex]\psi_z[/tex] is a non-zero homomorphism (in fact the set of all of these is the set of all non-zero complex homomorphisms).
For a function f in the algebra, the gelfand transform is
[tex]\hat{f}(\psi_z)=\psi_z(f)=\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}f(n)z^n[/tex]
The example I'm trying to understand shows how to find the inverse of a particular function f.
Part of the working says that "hat" is injective, so [at this stage the latex code is being absolutely ridiculous - priting something I had in a previous sentence that I subsequently deleted, and the actual thing I want is nowhere to be found :( ... I want to write that you can interchange the order of "inversing" and "hatting" f]. This I don't understand... it's probably quite simple, but something's not clicking for me unfortunately.
Thanks for any help.
