Abstract

We prove that a bicomplex linear functional acting on a bicomplex Banach algebra (with a hyperbolic-valued norm) in such a way that invertible elements are transformed into invertible bicomplex numbers is, in fact, a multiplicative functional and thus, an algebra homomorphism. We give two proofs of this. The first of them is based on the theory of bicomplex holomorphic functions and we present here a number of previously not published facts; the second uses its complex antecedent (classic Gleason–Kahane–Żelazko theorem).
