3.2. Algebraic properties of normed section algebra
We show the power-multiplicativity of the supremum algebra norm , and that the normed section algebras are reduced Banach algebras.
Proposition 3.1.
The algebra norm is power-multiplicative. Hence its spectral algebra seminorm is equal to itself, and it is an algbra norm.
Proof.
In fact, let be an element of and , let be the smallest integer for which . By the ultrametricity of and the power-multiplicativity of , one has
By the choice of , one has
and the equality holds if and only if where is on the -th place, so by the definition of and its ultra-metricity, one get
hence there is an equality. ∎
Corollary 3.2.
Then the Banach -algebras , and are semi-simple. In particular, they are reduced.
Proof.
Let be an element in , then by Proposition 3.1, one has
so
By the assumption, all componets are zero sections. So , hence is semi-simple. Same arguments works for .
Let . Then for every . For any , there exists such that and
As , one has that
so . Hence is semi-simple. ∎
Remark 3.3.
The reducity of closed sub-scheme is necessary for the semi-simplicity of the Banach -algebra .
