A Wiener-Tauberian Type Theorem for Arbitrary Normed Algebras with an Approximate Identity

Abstract

For an arbitrary normed algebra with an approximate identity, we introduce some notions of invertibility of a net in this algebra with respect to the given approximate identity. By means of that, we show a Wiener-Tauberian type theorem in that general situation. An application yields an abstract Wiener-Tauberian theorem for a class of commutative Banach algebras, which implies the classical Wiener-Tauberian theorem for locally compact Abelian groups.
