Isomorphism of uniform algebras on the 2-torus.

- Abstract
For α a positive irrational, let 𝛢α be the subalgebra of continuous functions on the two-torus whose Fourier transform vanishes at (m, n) if m + αn < 0. These algebras were studied by Wermer and others, who proved properties such as maximality and characterised the Gelfand space. One of the major themes of current work in operator algebras is classification, but none of the properties which were investigated earlier distinguished between 𝛢α and αβ, if β is another positive irrational. We address this question. We also determine the automorphism group of 𝛢α.
