| The notion of boundary is ubiquitous throughout mathematics. The most familiar definitions of the concept come from geometry and point-set topology, but boundary has somewhat different definitions in other areas. In functional analysis, and the theory of commutative Banach algebras in particular, the boundary is defined in terms of the functions on a carrier space and not just the space itself. The talk will give an introduction to two of the most common boundaries found in commutative Banach algebras, the Shilov boundary and Choquet boundary. | ||||||
