Function space

Function algebra

Let be a field and be some set. The function algebra consists of functions with scaling, addition, and multiplication defined pointwise. falg

Additional structure

• If is a topological space, one may consider a Continuous function algebra.
• If one restricts to maps of finite support one gets the free module of over .
  • In particular, if is a group this is the group ring.
