Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the range of homomorphism from a C\ulcorner-algebra A into a commutative Banach algebra B whose radical is nil contains no non-zero element of the radical of B. Using this result we show that there is no non-zero homomorphism from a C\ulcorner-algebra into a commutative radical nil Banach algebra.
