Ideals in Rings of Analytic Functions with Smooth Boundary Values

Abstract
LetAdenote the Banach algebra of functions analytic in the open unit discDand continuous in. Iffand its firstmderivatives belong toA,then the boundary functionf(e)belongs toCm(∂D). The spaceAmof all such functions is a Banach algebra with the topology induced byCm(∂D).If all the derivatives of/ belong toA,then the boundary function belongs toC(∂D), and the spaceAall such functions is a topological algebra with the topology induced byC(∂D). In this paper we determine the structure of the closed ideals ofA(Theorem 5.3).Beurling and Rudin (see e.g. [7, pp. 82-89;10]) have characterized the closed ideals ofA, and their solution suggests a possible structure for the closed ideals ofA.
