Existence of compact sets with a prescribed hierarchy of vanishing ideals
Existence of compact sets with a prescribed hierarchy of vanishing ideals
Let denote the uniform algebra of rational functions with poles off a compact set . For , write for the maximal ideal of functions in vanishing at , and for the ideal of functions vanishing on a neighborhood of in . Hierarchy conjecture. For each integer , there exists a compact set such that
for every , but for some ,
Consequently, for every one has
and at the exceptional point ,
The conjecture would produce rational function algebras in which the powers of a maximal ideal have a strict closure hierarchy, separating the condition involving from the corresponding condition involving squares of maximal ideals. The source notes that the converse implication is expected to fail and that an example for the opposite implication is planned for future work.
