A representation for non-commutative Banach algebras is discussed, which generalizes the Gelfand representation for commutative Banach algebras and the Gelfand-Naimark representation for $C^{\ast}$-algebras. Its basic properties are also investigated. In appendix, an example of Banach algebra that is neither semi-simple nor radical is presented.

I. M. Gelfand and G. E. Shilov [GS] introduced the Gelfand-Shilov spaces of type S, generalized type S and type W of test functions to investigate the uniqueness of the solutions of the Cauchy problems of partial differential equations. Using the heat kernel method Matsuzawa gave structure theorems for distributions, hyperfunctions and generalized functions in the dual space $(S^s_r)'$ of the Gelfand-Shilov space of type S in [M1, M2 and DM], respectively. Also, we gave structure theorems for ultradistributions, Fourier hyperfunctions in [CK, KCK], respectively.

We characterize Gelfand-continuous functions from a Tychonoff space X into an Arens-Michael algebra A. Then we define several algebras of such functions, and investigate them as topological algebras. Finally, we provide a class of examples of (metrizable) commutative unital complete Arens-Michael algebras A and locally compact spaces X for which all these algebras differ from each other.

Let K be a compact Hausdorff space, $\mathfrak{A}$ a commutative complex Banach algebra with identity and $\mathfrak{C}(\mathfrak{A})$ the set of characters of $\mathfrak{A}$. In this note, we study the class of functions $f:K{\rightarrow}\mathfrak{A}$ such that ${\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}{\circ}f$ is continuous, where ${\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}$ denotes the Gelfand representation of $\mathfrak{A}$. The inclusion relations between this class, the class of continuous functions, the class of bounded functions and the class of weakly continuous functions relative to the weak topology ${\sigma}(\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{C}(\mathfrak{A}))$, are discussed. We also provide some results on its completeness under the norm defined by ${\mid}{\parallel}f{\parallel}{\mid}={\parallel}{\Omega}_{\mathfrak{A}}{\circ}f{\parallel}_{\infty}$.
